Flash O2 XDA Diamond? To Remove Branded Rom?

Hi guys ... I will probably be getting a O2 XDA Diamond...
The O2 Diamond has a blue branded Touchflow Gui...
Will there be anyway to install the Original HTC software on it so i have the nice Black Menu?

yep you have to install a hardspl, either olipro's [which i think is unreleased] or the one made by the diamond project team.
then you can flash a new rom.
however, check your rom version in settings->system->device information
if it reads 1.34.831.1
it means you have a new spl that prevents you from flashing hardspl until the experts here create a work-around.
i hope this helps

On a related note, I was considering getting the O2 XDA Diamond but putting the black TouchFLO 3D on it. However, I've now decided to get a normal HTC Touch Diamond, because I'm lazy and I don't want to flash a new ROM for a number of reasons.

It was a related comment. I informed others of a decision I made, to avoid this problem - a decision which will save time and effort.
You always have to attack...

I dont think ill be getting the htc modell becaus i would have to pay much more...
Because of the o2 contract that i have in august i can re new the contract an will get a o2 xda for about 100 euro... so i think ill be sticking to this modell..
Please keep this thread up 2 date guys... Good work so far...

Well I´m pretty new to this. Im gonna get a XDA Diamond too within these weeks. But as mentioned the blue TouchFlow theme from O2 is really ugly in my opinion. So maybe someone can explain me how it is possible to change the ROM to get the original black theme from HTC.
What is necessary for that to work, what changes would that bring to my system (all programs lost?) and what dangers come along with that?
I appreciate your answers. Thanks.

c´mon guys, please give me some information on this.

Ok .
First of all you can take one of two options.
1) Hard SPL the device and flash a new ROM that someone has mirrored here.
Look here for Hard SPL ( Read carefully as not all Diamonds can be Hard SPl'd as yet)
HardSPL Here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395640
ROM is here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394985
Hard SPL your device as per the Instructions then run the ROM update that you would have downloaded above . Job Done.
2) Wait until someone removes the 3G Interface from a Diamond (HTC Maila) and then apply that cab to replace your blue one.
Hope this helps
If you read the very first thread in this forum then you would have had an idea on what you was asking.

Thank you very much for your answer. So just to get me right. If i need a german ROM, is there a chance, as far as the new ROM version (probably comming with the german xda) is HardSPL useable, to flash another german HTC ROM on to it (if someone is providing it)?
And the last question, do i loose all my installed or preinstalled apps on my device, such as TOMTOM when i flash a new (other) ROM?

If its an O2 ROM then as you have an O2 device you may not need to Hard SPL but not sure on that one.
As long as you Hard SPL the device then you will be able to flash any ROM that turns up on this forum on your device. Please read the post I pointed out to you, as one of the SPL's shipping on the Diamond will not work and you may brick your device
And the last question, do i loose all my installed or preinstalled apps on my device, such as TOMTOM when i flash a new (other) ROM?
When you flash a device it will set it back to a ROM only . EG all the apps etc you have installed will be gone. TomTom if available on the device ROM will be on it as well (Although I thought O2 pefered Copilot) . If not have a look around the Forums and find a suitable TomTom cab for the device.
Again if you spend some time reading some of the threads on here and within other devices you will start to understand more .

Ok guys so hold us up to date on this.... Im getting my O2 phone in 2 weeks and I think I wont like the blue TF3D.

Ok guys... so is there any new information on getting the branded colour touchflow 3d to the orignial black one? Someone here mentioned doing it without any hardspl stuff via a CAB file or something....
ANy news on this?
Thx Busta

Here in germany it's possible to renew your contract through several online shops. When doing so, you can get any device you want. You usually also get a better deal than renewing through O2. Try if this is possible in your country and get a HTC device!
The only advantage of getting an O2 device is, that you get a refurbished device sent to you in case of a waranty return and don't have to send it in for repair. (At least that's my experience with the hermes aka. XDA Trion I had)

Whats the point of getting a HTC Touch Diamond then? The "fun" begins with cooked ROM flashing and since the Touch Diamond seems to be more and more popular, some very nice ROMs will be out in the near future. Can't wait to see where this is going...

Flashing to another ROM with HArdsSPL wipes out all in your RAM and ROM memory. it over writes al registries.
Also TomTom. A back-up is not advisable as it will not run, or cause bigger problems.

for all the guys, they would like to remove the blue ugly O2 TouchFlo 3D skin, without flashing the Diamond! ;-)

o2 xda diamond

Hallo there,
I have an o2 Xda Diamond DIAM300, bought from Germany. I flashed the developer version of Olinex HardSPL (confirmed by SPL 1.40 Olinex in the tri-color screen). What I need now is a WWE rom to flash. I tried 2-3 1.93.xx roms from here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400411, but they all stop at 1% progress into the flash (as if I've no HardSPL). Any ideas?

I got the same phone, from o2. I tried the 1.4 version before i switched to the 1.93 version from olinex. Since i use this i can flash any available rom.

Thanks for this advice, I bought the same phone and want to flash it with the original 1.93 Rom from HTC.
Do you might know which Rom is the most current offical German HTC Rom and can provide me a downloadlink. On this page here are so many different links concerning this topic, that i am nearly loosing the overview
Thanks in advance
[Edit]
I found this one in a thread above:
RUU_Diamond_HTC_GER_1.93.407.1
Is this the one I should take?

RUU_Diamond_HTC_GER_1.93.407.1
is the best version in german language. Im german too, but i use panoshas athena 0.8 rom.
I tried all available roms in the last days. Panoshas was the only cooked one without bugs, and the most stable, with a nice battery life but in english
The fastest official rom is the norwegian release, but i prefer the hk_wwe rom, which is also in english.

Okay thank you.
I will stick to the German Rom for a while, I do like to have my phone in German

It was hard for me too, to switch the language, but you can change any settings and layouts to german, including a full german tf3d. Only WM 6.1 is still in the flashed rom language.

Hiya guys, i am really new to this and just got my first WM device a few days ago from O2, i have the Diamond/Ignito, and was hoping to flash the official HTC rom onto it, however there are a few things i cant find out.
i need to know what the SMS and WEP settings are and how to input them?
Because i have the free unlimited web bolt on i dont want to occur any charges for web browsing etc.
Also do the settings apply for 3G and all the other things the Diamond supports, or are they separate?
After i know this i can start looking for a ROM, and hope i can even flash it with the ROM thats already installed.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks
Chris

where is the standard WWE 6.1 rom for our trinity

I have frustrated of trying all the roms. Manila 3D, touch Flo.... etc...
All of them have some bugs and need to resolve.
Like today, when I need the GPS thing to be functioning and guess wat, in the end i paid the taxi driver for the route.
So please, may I ask, where I could download the official WWE 6.1 rom for our trinity.
thank you
further, i have done the Hard spl, do i need to do anything if i downgrade it back to WM5?
thank you

If you have hard-spl you need anything else but download the official rom from HTC to have the WM5
Official WM6.1 for trinity does not exist...only here in XDA.
try the Roms made by tnyynt to get all you need from your trinity... they are fast and stable...they are a bit old but i still use them since i don't like manilla aswell.

Nope, there was official wm6.0 rom update for dopod d810. Try this.

Hi Thout.
Out of curiosity, why do you prefer 007_TNYT_STD as opposed to the later updated version 017_TNYT_STD?

Updating a rom, my first time

Hello all,
I think i'm going to update my HTC Touch Diamond for the first time, with this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517300
But if i did this, how can i go back to the original lastest rom?
Thx in advance,
Bye, Paul!

You would be able to get the original ROM of the HTC website.
I would personally recommend this ROM as you get much more free memory.
Ive only just started flashing aswell. Make sure you have HardSpl 1.40 before you flash
Good luck,

Just do it !

So after having a custom rom i can just use the original rom from HTC:
http://www.htc.com/nl/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=483
And get it back in it?

Yes you will. But with the amount of custom ROM's out there I doubt you would want to go back to the custom ROM.

I perfer energy rom..
Looks too insane!!

yes i think i go for the energy rom, it looks nicer then the other one

I have to say it worked flawless, and i'm now runnign the energyrom
Thx for all help and advices!

Kudos

i need help with an opinion!! thnks :)

hello i would like to know if you could help me decide... i have this htc diamond with a ROM 1.93.422.4 WWE wich is the one the phone brought and i wanted to know if theres a better ROM thn tht one and if its compatible with the phone... like ive been reading about this one 1.93.831.1 WWE but i dont know wich one is better or if its compatible.... help me please

If it's the first time you flash a ROM, you have to follow the HardSPL tutorial.
After your Diamond have HSPL, you can flash which ROM you want, there are lots of good ROM in this section, i suggest you Maemo ROMs but you should try it yourself.
I'm using Celoni Tribute ITA, he also released a WWE version with WM6.5.x and HTC Sense.

Im using 2.03.xxxx
Get them from the Diamond Stock ROM WIKI
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Diamond_Upgrades

hey thanks a lot but do i need to do a HSPL to upgrade to those ROMS? the shipped ones? and any HSPL would work? or i have to flash an specific one in order to upgrade the ROM to the shipped one 2.03.xxx ?

No it should flash fine if it is your operator
If it is a different operator, maybe, Im not sure

so i dont have to do any HSPL ? just run the rom with the phone on activesync and thts it? and i think my phone is not flashed with HSPL it will work without doing it?

If it's the right ROM for your phone you'll be able to flash it even without HSPL, but it has to be an official update, check on the HTC website for your IMEI.
I suggest you to use HSPL to have a very higher choose, there are lots of ROMs here, official ones are outdated nowadays.

ohhh ok thanks!!... is there any rom that lets me use htc sense on the diamond?

Sense is WM6.5
If you are going to flash a 6.5 ROM you need to unlock it and HardSPL etc
TouchFlo is the 6.1 version of sense, its almost the same without the eye candy

Hi,
Check this out and pick what suits you best.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649841
I've been using GTX for a couple days w/out problems, although it's not the fastest ROM I've ever used looks-goodies/speed ratio is very reasonable.
Of course you have to HSPL your phone before flashing.
Also It's highly recommended to use radio 1.17.25.09 which I think is the latest.
I've had it installed even before flashing GTX and used it with wm 6.5 ROMs in USA, Mexico, Canada, Germany & Greece w/out problems. It's Quad-Band.
