Where is to look for official ROMs? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

I have a simple question. Where one would go to look for an official Diamond ROM version?

apparently right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399572
'cuz it has a link to this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/1219746..._Diamond_52.26.25.09_0.93.25.26_Ship.exe.html
its latest for europe and in english.

Yes I saw that, what I meant is somewhere on HTC websites.
Basically how people get those ROMs that appear here

How to extract the orignal Diamond ROM??

Hi every one..
I just had my htc diamond from amazon
it come with a lot of software already installed.
I need to keep the original Rom near when I need it, but how? is there any software?
THX..
You don't really need to back up the rom itself... There are plenty of stock roms available already, if things would go wrong...
Take some time to read through the various threads regarding roms on the diamond before you post a question the next time, as that would have undoubtedly answered this particular one...

3: there isn't anything about the subject in the wiki, too
This way it works:
Dump Kaiser ROM
but note that the diskname is DSK: .
If it won't work please use the search function there are several threads about extracting diamond's rom.

Original, up-to-date Diamond Rom

Heey people,
could someone please tell me where to get the latest official rom from HTC?
Cus i have a branded version of the Diamond, so i cant download it from their site.
I hope one of you knows where to get that latest version without having to use the serialnumber of my phone, because that serial number doesn't work.
Thanks in advance!

Okay, I need to apologize because I didn't see this post was on the forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910.
But 1,93 isn't really that up to date, is this the only post containing original roms that you guys know off, because i've used the search function a billion times by now, with a dictionary full of keywords, but i haven't found anything higher than 1,93.
Thanks in Advance!

my orange branded phone doesn't let you download the update either
although in all honesty apart from that one thread i haven't searched for the offical rom yet, just starting to get fed up of the little things that don't work that you rarely use in custom roms

That's why i started this thread really, I just want the official rom on it again, so i can enjoy the 'functionallity' that it should have.
I'm not saying that those custom roms suck or something, i LOVED using them, really! But im thinking of selling my phone, and i don't want to sell it disfunctioning.
So, please help me out haaha
Thanks,
Bryan

These are obviously newer than the ones found in the link i posted earlier. I found a 2.03 version in that post which is Dutch, so if this is the latest we can get in Holland, i'll be definatly downloading that version.
Thanks Stead, for finding this post!

due to there is no official 2.2 from htc you must flash a cooked rom. Within the cooked rom you'll find the flashing procedure.
Thanks but what is cooked rom
First thread, sticky in this section; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189 explains it all, you even have video-tutorials

I do agree that you really should read at least some information in the sticky threads before asking such a basic question, but i took the time below anyway, but afterwards please let those sticky's answer your questions
A cooked ROM is either a freshly compiled version of android, or a port. Then there are numerous advantages and addons, the common one is that you always have root-acces, basically "administrative" access to things that stock-roms try to keep you away from.
Cooked roms was especially great some time ago, when android didn't provide tethering support (internet sharing), paid apps was more limited, hardware on phones was more restricted and with cooked roms you could overclock the cpu, move applications to your sdcard and have a linux-kernel that left you with more available RAM.
Then there's often other hacks and cooked roms are almost always faster than stock-roms.
The only disadvantages is that by messing with these kinda things you void your garantuie. Most of the time, rooting is safe and tested before published, but if youre flashing a newe radio-version or spl (a separate part, not the actual ROM) there is a risk for "brick" leaving your phone unusable in some case.
That said, if you experience some kind of hardware issue that you know isnt related to the ROM, you can "unroot" your device, basically put back the original rom so that it doesnt appear modified at the repair center.
Desire is very easy to root, a simple script you run on your computer updates your stock rom with a rooted one, leaving your settings and all as it was, but with root acces and the posibility so change rom if you like
I would suggest, respectfully, that if the OP does not know what a cooked rom is, or that there is no official 2.2 as of yet, that perhaps trying to root may not be something they do until they've read up on it a lot more.

Why oh why oh why oh why did you give it to him.. now he'll never learn how to search and rely on others... the link is available on the first god damn thread that comes up in the Q&A forum (i.e. my guide)... and yet...
Sorry, I'm feeling a little bit generous today.

Is HTC planning to issue RUU for the M8 or not !?

Hey Guys ,
I have been waiting for so long for the RUU . Anyone has an idea when is it going to be available ?
I just want be confident if i missed the phone up i could bring it back to default with a single file without the hassle of recoveries and flashing stock
nothing yet ?
HTC have never really officially released RUUs for their phones, they've leaked from service centres/HTC staff in the past. Some US carriers do release them but the unbranded ones are like rocking horse sh*t!
I have it for the US unlocked version but the forum doesn't let me post links.
Why not? Seems weird as this is the place to share

You have to have so many posts before you can post links. Its to keep bots/people from spamming the forums.

Just find a "Show us your home screen" or "Pics taken with your phone" type of thread. One of the reasons those are there is to provide ways to help newer members reach their 10 posts. Pretty sure you're still able to add pics as an attachment when <10 posts.
This works on CID BS_US001 unlocked version:
