How to removeSPL V7 - OliPro 2.10?

AT&T(aka deathstart) will be releasing their latest WM6 in a few weeks(I am suspecting but don't know anything for sure). My problem is that I have loaded Hard SPL v7 -> OliPro 2.10. I am wanting to remove my custom ROM and install "the" factory ROM. But I can't do this with Oli installed.
So how to remove so I can return my phone back to the factory ROM. I am wanting to sell before it loses the rest of its value as well.
Found numerous links to install but can't find anything to uninstall.
Any info/advice will be much appreciated.

Down Grading WM6 to WM5
This topic is "well covered" in Mr. Vanx's guide....... do a google search on "mr vanx" go the the site & look around...... I've done it successfully a number of times...... downgrading SPL7 is "one of the steps"......
Good Luck,
vpu2....OUT!!!!!

This was the site that I used to walk me through the install. Unfortunately I have been all through this site and haven't been able to find "downgrading" documentation. Didn't see a search button. Lots of good info though.

Are you sure that original retail ROM cannot be flashed if you have OliPro 2.10? Before you flashed custom ROM on your "virgin" device, you had to install Olipro 2.10, right? Then you flashed the custom ROM. So the reverse procedure should work as well. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think this was the right question to ask. I have not had RUU install problems before..but just to make sure, I tried to run RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3_1_.57.502.1_6275_1.48.00.00_108-ATT-MR3_Ship to put my phone back to the "current" Cingy version(prep for WM6 by Cingy). So when I ran the RUU ran and I got to the point where the software was attempting to check out the info on the PDA. I got the 206 connection error. I tried to follow the troubleshooting of the readme.doc. It basically said to check your connections, reboot your computer, PDA, etc...I know the USB connection works as it connects to my Vista WMDC just fine.
So, just now as a last resort, I booted to the Bootloader screen and reconnected. Vista recognized and loaded a "new" driver(why I don't know). I ran the RUU and guess what??...ROM is now loading. All appears well and no need to downgrade the SPL.
This is probably a documented feature of RUUing w/in Vista somewhere. If not, then perhaps it can be added to some Upgrading Wiki.
Thanks for everything.

So I wouldn't have to break down the exe into the nbh files and do it all separately like in Mr.Vanx's guide? That would be awesome if I could just flash the original exe file, and then just downgrade the IPL.

Iv'e flashed the ATT ROM on the HardSPL with zero issues. Dozens of times.

i know its been said before, but how do i get wm6 onto my m3100?

as above really?
ive looked all over the forum and cant seem to find anything, but im sure its probably been posted here before!

Try reading this guide 1st:

where is the guide to tell me how to acually flash my phone?
i havent a clue how to flash it!

ahh no ive worked out how to flash it, but it says i need some framework or something to run the program#?

On the PC or phone?

its ok , ive found thre framework now... i didnt read the writing your right, so just downloading that right now..
then the setup should run!

Good luck with the upgrade. Don't worry if it seems to do nothing for quite a while thats normal, don't be tempted to unplug or reboot the device. I'd recomend flashing it with HardSPLV7 1st just in case, see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722

ok im confused now...
ive read and done everything it said on that guide.. but how do i get black majik onto my mobile?

ok ive got to the bit where it says
The thread concerning this ROM contains the latest info provided by users, testers and the developers (Jasjamming) and I recommend reading through it even if you encounter no problems.
Hopefully you will have carried out the housekeeping and HardSPL steps of this guide before upgrading to Black Majik as the flashing process WILL wipe all data on your device, and by having HardSPL on it you safeguard against a corrupt CID if the process if interrupted.
Firstly download the file and run it.
i click the link to download it and it tells me its not available yet?

black majik is quite and old rom now, I recomend using a newer one. However I assume you have downloaded it to your PC and unzipped it. There should be a file called RUUWrapper.exe which you will need to run. As I said thought I would recomend flashing HardSPLV7 1st, this will help if anything does go wrong upgrading the OS.
Flashing most roms is pretty much the same as another so once you have read the guide for one you shouldbe able to flash any.
Try one of the links I first gave you to download a rom

ROMs for the Diamond from HTC

Hi,
Does HTC release their own updated ROMs for the Diamond???
If so where can I find them and how do I update the device (does HTC have instructions on the web)??? Also what is the latest ROM version (I think I have 1.37.0 WWE), my phone came from Hong Kong...
Thanks,
NW

HTC e-club doesn't have roms for diamond - not on Hong Kong where I login anyway.

Thanks for the reply Riel/Tim, I have been to that page and enter in my SN and register but when I go to my device nothing comes up... I cannot see the Diamond listed under software downloads either..? I log into world wide...
Thanks for the reply, I have been to that page and enter in my SN and register but when I go to my device nothing comes up as well... SO I'd say HTC havent release any ROM device updates... SO how do you guys get the exe for the diamond v1.93???
Also to install the 1.93 ROM posted by Tom do I need to install HardSPL on my phone..? Because it looks like that package will work with no need to install any SPL, its just an exe that runs through a wizard... What way/how does the HardSPL versions here prevent me from bricking the phone? How do I find the SPL version that is currently on my phone and can I revert back to the original SPL/remove hard CID so I dont void warranty..?
Tim what ROM are you using on your Diamond and how did you install it???
Also does the ROM posted by Tom have the Radio ROM (I think its 1.00.25.5 inc in the package guessing by the file name?) let me use Quad band network?

HTC does release the updates, but not on their site. Only to their resellers I believe.
Yes, it is essential to install hard SPL on your phone for any ROM you want to try. I am using walshieau's Elite 3.0 ROM 9 (which is very quick). This is what I did to install it:
1) Flash hard SPL signed version (which will hard reset your phone, so backup using PIM backup from pocketpcfreewares.com)
2) Flash the ROM of your choice
After this I decided to update the Radio to version .05
In order to do this I needed to first flash with UNsigned hard SPL, then flash the radio using CustomRUU. Now I have support for Telstra's NextG 850Mhz.
NightWolf88: check your PM and you can contact me by phone and I may be able to explain in more detail.

Thanks very much for the help Tim!!! Thanks to all the other people doing great work on these forums!!
Ok so from what I have read so far ( I posted this in the 1.93 ROM thread as well - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2416200&posted=1#post2416200) I just need some of my noobish questions answered, dont want to ruin my lovely Diamond :
From what I have read:
1. Backup device - Is there any way I can backup the ROM which is currently on my device (1.37.00.0 WWE)???
2. Upgrade to HardSPL signed as this is a signed ROM- download this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402 extract, run the .exe file... Follow the RomUpdateUtility.exe (RUU) wizard - SPL will flash and then with any luck get a message saying complete - job is done.
What does "1. do not try to use this SSPL to flash anything else other than an SPL file. it explicitly blocks other flashes anyway. SSPL is *never* a good way to flash OS images" mean... So can I not use this to update the device OS ROM to 1.93. in this thread??? I assume SSPL = Signed Second Program Loader..?
Do I need to use this unsigned version..? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950 - It has overwrite protection..?
Finally - use volume down & soft reset to see that SPL/bootloader has installed/flashed correctly... Then to SAFELY get out of the bootloader softreset again...?
3. Upgrade the OS ROM using the .exe file in post 1 of this thread...
So I download the exe connect my device via active sync then follow the rest of the steps in the RUU.exe wizard, it will give me a progress bar on both the PC and the Diamond, the Diamond will then softreset with the new rom all installed..?
Questions:
Can someone please confirm the above method is correct to install the ROM on this page?
Does the Radio also update itself to 1.00.25.05 when running the exe in the post #1??? I.e. will I get quad band radio support???
Do I need the signed or unsigned SPL what is the best to use???
How do I dump the ROM that is currently on my device to PC/whats the best program? Do I need to do this for warranty etc or if I dont like the new ROM..?
To restore to original SPL I go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39 grab my stock SPL and then use the unsigned SPL RUU exe? What is SSPL-manual used for???
Also in the post by cmonex (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39) he says "if you have signed hardspl, just go ahead and flash with normal RUU process (no overwrite protection in that one, as it is already only accepting htchackers signed files, there was no need for that)."
What is the normal RUU process???
If I use the signed SPL I can just use the RUU.exe that comes with that and copy the stock SPL to replace the .nbh file in the signed Hard-SPL folder and everything should run fine? No need to worry with the unsigned Hard-SPL version right?
As stupid as it may sound I still don’t get all this SPL/SSPL/Hard-SPL stuff, what is on the phone originally? and what changes with hard-spl download packages??? I assume SPL is a boot loader like BIOS on the “PC” or EFI on Intel-Apple Macs..? What is the difference between the stock SPL/bootloader on the phone and signed/unsigned hard-SPL that some of the guys here have made?
Thanks once again ,

Same problem here!
Yes, I did use the search function but didn't find what I was looking for.
That being said, I have registered my Diamond on e-Club. (It's a French Orange one, so I used a hack I found on another forum to correctly register by changing "HT825" to "HT826" in the SN.) However, I don't see anything for the diamond available for download under "Phone Software Updates" and "Other Downloads."
So my question is: does HTC offer certain downloads only to certain SN?
The answer might have been already posted somewhere; if so please redirect me (and NightWolf88) to the correct thread if you know it!
Thanks
PS: NightWolf88, check out www.modmydiamond.info if you haven't already: it's a fantastic tutorial that will most likely answer most of your questions regarding the fine art of ROM flashing and restoring.

Yeah I have checked that page, great site.
From what I have read there are no HTC e-club updates for the Diamond yet, only updates going to resellers... I also emailed HTC Tech support - I got this reply:
Thank you for choosing hTC. Please note that there's no new rom for HTC Touch Diamond at the moment. We recommend you to visit our hTC HK website for the latest information as below

I wish that HTC would pull there finger out and release an official ROM.
After putting an Official Rom update on the e-club site but then taking it down pretty quickly, it seems strange they haven't released one yet.
Im holding out for an Official Rom, but I think i will just give in and flash a cooked rom in the end.
Gonna try flashing the Radio first as I havent got an issue with the Rom itself, just with the signal behaving very erratically!
Will see.
Great site tho xda devs and also the modmydiamond one to, some invaluable info on both of them.
Thanks everyone on here.

On my SN and registration I definatedly got provided with a new rom.
It is 1.37 in my case, in Dutch.
See attachment of screenshot of the Site:

Yeah it seems that only device SNs that shipped with <1.37 have an update, there is no offical release of 1.93 which is (from what I have read) better than 1.37, but 1.37 was alot better than the 34s and 35s if you do a search around the net alot of reviewers got sent these ROMs which fixed initial lag issues...
I want to put 1.93 on my device, wanted offical htc release but I'm just going to use the one posted here...
Any one hjelp me with the ROM update???

JasJam

Hey,
I have a JasJam with the following current versions,
ROM: 1.31.305.2
Radio: 1.20.31.10
ExtROM: 1.31.305.103
And I would like to upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6.0 or above, i do not know what is the last ROM update i should install, can anyone help me ?
Thank you.

First thing to do is to check your SPL by pressing POWER+OK(button near the scroll) and then reset. You should now see the 3 color screen showing your IPL and SPL.
Make sure your are using Olipro SPL,
If not then download HardSPL here and install it.

After installing you can now find any ROM you like to install.

Just a reminder for ALL noobs out there, you take flashing your device into your own hands... There are no guarantees you will flash successfully and no blame is to be laid at anyone elses feet.
So saying, there is an awful lot of info available here and we do say to read first before flashing so you have at least an idea on how to fix the problem if something goes wrong. WE were all in your shoes.
Do some research, ask questions if you need something explained (we don't mind answering if you've done some research) and have fun.
1st thing to do though is to install Hard SPL from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
I'd recommend the sd card method on page 116, post 1160. I find it safer than using the PC. Just make sure the sd card is less than 2Gb, formatted FAT32 and you make NO spelling mistakes when you rename the .nbh file to hermimg.nbh.
Happy flashing...

Hehehe thank you guys , i appreciate your help

Flashing can't start, and cant't find solution the after searching the forum

So as you can figure out from the thread title I have a problem flashing my htc diamond.
I have installed a HardSPL version 1.30 OliNex, I can confirm that becouse on the three color screen there is a text saying "1.30 OliNex".
I still have the original ROM that comes with the phone when I bought it, so this meant to be my first flashing.
I want to flash the phone with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678 it is a WM 6.5 based ROM.
Because in the ROM package there wasn't a ROMUpdateUtility.exe I used it from other ROM package.
Connected via ActiveSync and followed the wizard. The phone reset and there came a gray screen with a progress bar. Now both progress bars on the phone and on the PC screen remain 0% and after a wile RUU finished with 262 ERROR Connection error, see the attached picture.
After that I tried to flash it from Internal Storage. A followed the steps according the procedure, and after the three colored screen it came the gray screen with "Loading..." message. I waited for almost 30 minutes and nothing happened.
What seems to be the problem?
I assumed about firewall disabling the connection. But I turned off the firewall and again the same story.
Then somewhere I found that there is incompatibility with the RUU and HardSPL version, but tried to flash with the same RUU that I used when I was installing HardSPL.
Then I tough that the problem is about flashing unsigned ROM on a signed HSPL, but it is not that the ROM is signed.
I am afraid to use MTTY so I don't brick my phone, because this is my first time flashing a Diamond.
I'm confused What seems to be the problem?
Any help can be welcomed.
Could this be indication of a hardware problem? When waiting for the "Loading..." message disappear the back cover warms a little.
Thanks.

1. Did you use the RUU from my thread?
2. NEVER USE AN H-SPL RUU TO FLASH ANYTHING OTHER THAN H-SPL!
3. is this a CMDA phone. IE, what network are you on?

Well no I didn't use the RUU from your thread, I've used a RUU from other ROM package.
This is not a CDMA phone I'm on T-Mobile Macedonia network. And the phone looks like this
On other Macedonian forum they told me it is a hardware problem. Can this be true?
So what do you think about my problem?

Well no I didn't use the RUU from your thread, I've used a RUU from other ROM package.

EDIT: I did tried the RUU you recommended in your thread but it's the same.
I think it is in the PDA.

Configure active sync, and uncheck "allow usb connection" and try again.
For updating from internal storage you must have to copy the rom to the root of internal storage with a special name, ""diamimg.nbh"

Hmmm..
What he said... and...
Should have used one of the earlier SPLs. you only need to use the latest one if you are having problems with the older versions. I have the same diamond and used an early SPL.
Upgrade the radio rom first and go with a rom that's version 6.1 not 6.5 as most 6.5 roms now pack the Sense application.. (IMO Non-Sense, Senseless (Not enought ram or responsiveness))

As I understand you, you are saying to install later version of Hard SPL right?
So to install a new version of Hard SPL I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one?
And please help me which version of Hard SPL is safest to install? I'm afraid of the developer versions or maybe they aren't so scary
Are you a 100% positive it is the HardSPL?

Presuming from your post, you are using a signed Olinex SPL, i doubt that the rom has been signed be OliNex, the only difference with Dev is you can flash any Rom, flash the Dev one from my thread, nothing to be afraid of
Good Luck
Badwolve1

What are the steps of installing new SPL?
Do I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one(somehow)?
UPDATE: I did it, I successfully flashed my Diamond PDA! It seams that the problem was in the SPL I installed 1.40 OliNex Unsigned and it flashed like a charm. Thanks guys for the help. Now this thread can be closed, or do I have to close it myself.

Great!
Glad it all worked out
