OK Guys,
This is a placeholder for Hard-SPL Dev edition - recommended for ROM Cookers and Developers only.
it's the same as the other except it doesn't require signing and blocks overwriting.
------------------
Done, see next post.
[size=+2]NOTE: This is NOT a SIM unlocker - it also doesn't unlock Security for other radios. if you need that, GO HERE[/size]
here's unsigned version of Hard-SPL - what you've been waiting for!
[size=+1]ok, here it is now as I said the wait would be max 2 weeks in the *worst* case. well the case is much better than that [/size]
this is only for people who know what they are doing!!! newbies who aren't sure what roms to flash, should go with the signed version of hardSPL here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402
Installation Instructions are the same:
1) Download, extract to an empty folder.
2) Run RomUpdateUtility.exe, Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile
3) follow steps, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar. it should go to black screen now.
4) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
5) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (volume down + reset, i.e. press volume down button and reset then keep holding the volume down key until you see tricolour screen) and verify the screen shows 1.40.OliNex.
note: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
INSTALLING THIS WILL HARD-RESET THE DEVICE
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
- read the instructions.
- read the instructions.
- read the instructions.
- Anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically (your device doesn't even go to black screen), please copy SSPLManual.exe to the device and run it. then once the screen is black, run RUU manually (you run the RUU on the PC, if it isn't obvious).
- if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to black screen, then try a different USB port, also do not use USB hub, you can also try rebooting your PC, and can try using another PC. read the thread for even more tips that I don't remember now. also you can try unticking advanced network functionality in start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet.
- if SSPL-Manual.exe or enterbootloader.exe fails to run (says missing component or similar), try a hard reset of the device.
- CDMA (Sprint or Telus) diamonds need my other hardspl:, head over to: CDMA (not GSM) diamond hardspl - ONLY use this if your diamond does not use GSM protocol for radio!!! otherwise you will brick the device!!!
NOTE: this has overwrite protection, so don't try flashing another SPL using HardSPL.
if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, we will soon post a stock SPL downgrade package.
enjoy!
UPDATE 1: 1.37 Hard-SPL
for those who need 1.37 due to some screen fuzziness issues on some newer diamonds, here it is with hardspl patches:
- Developer Edition: can flash unsigned code. Version: 1.37.OliNex
- Signed Edition: can only flash preapproved signed code. Version: 1.38.OliNex
please see Attachment below for Developer Edition!!
for Signed Edition, see the signed HardSPL thread of course.
I recommend you flash the original HardSPL, as that one is MFG. only flash the 1.37 if you experience the fuzzy display issue.
UPDATE 2: 1.93 Hard-SPL
if someone's diamond came with 1.93 SPL originally, maybe this HardSPL based on 1.93 will work better than the olders. I have a report that someone has black screen with older SPL's.
but even if your diamond didn't come with 1.93 stock, but 1.37 doesn't fix screen problems (fuzzy screen, flickering, etc.), it is recommended to try this 1.93 HardSPL.
if your diamond works fine with original HardSPL, no need to flash this one.
Version: 1.93.OliNex
IMPORTANT: all in all, I recommend you flash the original HardSPL, as that one is MFG and easier to deal with if there is some problem. only flash the 1.37 or 1.93 if you have screen issues.
if it was some other version and you still have issues after trying 1.37 and 1.93, then let us know in this thread.
STOCK SPL's: to return to stock SPL for warranty reasons: read post #39 in this thread!!!
aborts about 588kb into the download for me.
Hey, Many thanks for all you work, it is working !!
Downloaded and installed fine for me.
Many thanks Oli/Nex
Check ur internet connection. Download is working 100% fine
Good timing, thanks a lot!
lovely....
That was one short 2 weeks
What is the difference between signed and unsigned spl?
Is this working when connecting the Diamond to Vista? I get an app CLOSE/DEBUG exception when I try to run it on Vista (x64). My diamond is the Asia 1.34 version.
Does it work?
Hi Olipro,
Does this one work equally well for SPL 1.23 and 1.34/1.35? There were some discussion about 1.34 locking up the Diamonds with now ways of going back to 1.23? Please advise,

It means you can only install signed ROM's, i.e ones form HTC, Carriers, or ones signed by Olinex and the other people in Elite Team. And they won't sign ranodm crap, so gives you safety- if it's signed, it's ok to flash it.
Unsigned means you can install any random ROM you like, cook your own easily and install it without any fuss.

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,

Also, get familiar to using forum search and also google search.
oh no...
not someone who and use the search button
i have tried the search function!
i cannot find a concrete answer as to if htc has actually got a download page with the roms or if we need to use the rom 1.93... and this hard spl program...
fyi when searching i found many ppl asking the same qus as me yet there was no answer other than a few wasteful people saynting use the search function... if u do know the answer dont be Arrogant and say use search - the onlynthing u are doing is wasting ppls time and increasing ur post count. i asked for some help if u dont have anything useful to add dont post...

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???

Hi,
My Diamond has no response on the screen, so I think I need to return to factory for repairing. However I have difficulties in falling back to stock ROM and SPL.
From the Wiki:
---------------
STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
...
-----------------
I can't flash my ROM to latest HK WWE CSL ROM (2.03) as it just stopped at 0%. I'm using SPL-1.30.OliNex.
Questions:
0) Why? Any step I've missed? I've just copied the .NBH from HTC official ROM download. Should I get the .NBH from the Wiki instead?
1) Should I flash to v1.93 (the very beginning of the ROM)?
2) Must the RADIO be flashed back as well? or the above Stock ROM has included the RADIO already?
3) Anyone can give me a reference on the step-by-step in details...
Thanks!
Please help...

If the latest was the offical from the site then you could use that - as you are having issues flashing this with 1.30 HSPL, I would suggest updating that to 1.40

Re Q3, so do you mean if I extracted the stock NBH, it's only OS but not including RADIO? If so, I will get the RADIO from wiki page later. Would you please clarify for me?
After your information, I think the steps in Wiki are clear. Thanks.
If this is HK ROM is the one you have downloaded from HTC PAGE then it has a radio included
Since my Diamond is totally malfunction in the touch screen, I can't response to all the confirmation & prompts...
I've failed to install Stock ROM and tried your recommendation on upgrading to HSPL 1.40. There was a confirmation on running the program in my Diamond and I can't press YES and now my diamond is just like bricked.
I've also tried pressing VOL DOWN + Reset to connect the Diamond via USB. The ROM Update Utility has "successfully" update the HSPL, but actually when I hard reset it and found it's still running 1.30... Can I just use this approach to fallback to Factory status??
Anyone has good idea on how to fallback to Factory Stock ROM, RADIO and SPL, provided that my screen has totally no response to me?
PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE help.
You will not be able to update olipros Hard SPL in bootloader mode as the SPL is protected and the 1.30 will prevent this although show its been done.
What you will need to do then is just load a 1.93 ROM from boot loader. the were some in that link i posted earlier. as to reverting to the default SPL - you may be luck not to need the screen for any confirmation. but running a new SPL to overwrite Oli's you will need to use windows and the RRU
I've tried to load 1.93 ROM to my diamond but failed on OliNex 1.30. The link in modmydiamond.info on OliNex 1.40 Signed seems not correct, as it's still 1.30 after flashed. I've then flashed UNSIGNED 1.40 OliNex SPL (also downloaded from modmydiamond.info) and now flashing the 1.93 ROM in progress from bootloader.
I will flash the Stock SPL through the Bootloader after that...I hope I can successfully fallback and get it repair...
Last question (I hope), the stock SPL should be 1.37 so I want to confirm whether it can boot 1.93 ROM.
Thanks a lot!
Because these Unsigned HARD SPL 's are write protected.....you will fail all the time. Not sure if stock SPL can undue the write protection but if you still get stuck after you try then in order to bypass write protection I know Jump SPL allows for this.

you're right. When I flash the Stock SPL, it is "successful" but actually it doesn't update the SPL (i.e yet running OliNex 1.40). Where can I get the Jump SPL?

That ROM had a different boot image - so you need to replace that by flashing another splash .NBH file using RUU.
Original splash can be found HERE
and if needed CUSTOM RUU HERE
Just un-zip these and put the splash file in the same folder as the Custom RUU and run the RUU - the flash should take a few seconds and viola - bye bye Diamond project splash.

I think as long as the SPL is changed and the ROM is of the original language the I think it should be OK to send back like that

As said before; you should be able to successfully run the stock SPL using RUU - if you are trying this via bootloader it will not work.
Which is the original SPL?? 1.23, 1.34 or 1.37? I do recall taking a picture of the original SPL when i 1st got the Diamond for days like that but i just can't find it now
I'm bought it from Malaysia. Anybody can help me confirm this??

I've tried to connect to ActiveSync successfully although the Initial Setup wizard on my Diamond. I've then run the RUU from RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip and put the stock SPL .NBH file into the extracted directory. It can retrieve my device info, and when I confirm the update of ROM, after 3-5 sec it said about connection failure. I can browse the Internal Storage at the moment yet.
I've then tried similar thing using the Custom RUU inside the package diamond-hspl-1.34.zip. This time I can see 100% update. When I press VolDown and reset, the SPL is still v1.40 ONliEx.
What's wrong with my procedures above?

Due to a hardware problem in my Diamond I needed to restore it to manufacturer default. I didn't find a guide to this and since I've done the research anyway I thought I'd put together this little tutorial as the information was somewhat scattered around the forum. I hope this guide will be of use for the community.
My phone was originally branded and sim-locked by 3. After I was through with it, it was SIM-unlocked, security unlocked and had HSPL, custom ROM and a radio ported from another device. The steps below is what I did to restore it to stock. All steps might not be neccessary for you. This procedure might also work for other devices than the Diamond, but of course you need other versions of SPL, ROM etc.
1. Backup everything on your phone to your computer - use activesync, PIMbackup etc and make a copy of your Internal Storage.
2. Make a hard reset (hold vol down + enter and soft reset) and chose to format moviNAND. This step is only neccessary if you want to wipe your Internal Storage before you send the device in for repair, but I recommend it.
3. Go to www.htc.com and download the latest stock ROM (includes stock radio and SPL). You find it under Support and you enter your s/n to get the correct stock ROM for your device, complete with branding for your operator. You can also find stock ROMS here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699
4. Flash the stock ROM. Now you have stock ROM and Radio on your device. Stock SPL will not be installed until you've replaced HSPL with an older stock SPL and flashed ROM again.
5. Get RUU-SSPL and stock SPL from HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39. I used the stock 1.93 SPL. Some instructions and info about restoring stock SPL is in the linked post by cmonex and due credit goes to her. I will repeat some of that info to keep this guide step-by-step. EDIT: Stock SPL 2.03 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3359191&postcount=390
6. Put the .nbh file from the SPL you downloaded into the same folder as the extracted contents of RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip and run the RUU. This flashes an old stock SPL.
7. Flash your stock ROM from step 3 again. This step is neccessary to get the correct stock SPL on your device, eg. the one that corresponds with the stock ROM you've downloaded in step 3. It was not installed in step 4, because then you still had HSPL. In step 6 you've installed a stock SPL and now the correct stock SPL will flash along with the stock ROM. After this step I got SPL 2.03 on my Diamond.
8. Remove the Security Unlock from your device using the instructions and Security Relocker by Olinex from this post by cmonex: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3299516&postcount=492
Now, my Diamond is still SIM-unlocked. I have not managed to find any info about how to restore the SIM-lock, but it is hopefully not neccessary for warranty. As far as I can tell, the unlock doesn't show anywhere, but of course all they need to do is to try a SIM-card from another operator...
If anyone has info about how to restore SIM-lock, then I'll update this guide with that info.

I second that, it contains links to stock ROMs, that'll hopefully stop a million topics about it lol.
This does not work for me.. However i have a problem. the touch screen of my device is not working.. so i can't get pass the allign screen part .. and for somereason the ruu won't connect to phone when it is at tha part so i can't install the spl.. the only way i can do that i through bootloader and it flashes fine but when i then look in bootloader to see the spl it still shows 1.40 olinex..

You're right, I tried it too. Flashing SPL through bootloader doesn't work.
You can try using JumpSPL instead, I've attached it in this post. I don't think JumpSPL will require any screen prompts on your Diamond. You can read instructions.txt in the zip, but it's just really the .bat file so you get an idea of what it's doing. Run the .bat, press enter at the prompts and run the RUU for your stock SPL instead of HSPL when asked. At your own risk, I have not tried this myself.
where can i read more information about jumpspl, how it works and everything?

I have just tried it and it gets stuck where it should run the JumpSPL.exe on the device. After a few minutes it comes with an error:
"ERROR: CreateProcess failed with Errorcode = 30123
- UNKNOWNERROR: 0x000075ab"
This is not good I just think its wierd that because of a broken screen it is impossible for me to get the stock spl flashed back on.

Sorry to hear it and I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. After all, my little tutorial is primarily aimed at those whose Diamonds have working screens...
On another note, my Diamond came back from warranty repair and the repair shop had not noticed anything that would void my warranty. In the meantime I got myself a Topaz and now I've sold my Diamond, but I'll be checking this thread from time to time.
Hey thanks bro..!! I need to give mine for reparing..
I have a hardware problem with the reset button.. Do you think I should flash my diamond back to stock? (I don't think they'll check the software right?)

I would restore it to stock anyway. Some workshops actually look for excuses/reasons why the warranty won't apply so I say you'd definitly be taking a risk if you didn't.

Another idea: maybe you can find some a VNC program that also works the "other way" with windows mobile, so that you can get a window on your PC with the screen of your device?

If you manage to install ANY stock SPL and then flash the correct ROM for your country and operator then you automatically get the correct SPL too, since stock ROMs include SPL. If you go to htc.com and type in your s/n then you automatically get the latest ROM for your device and operator.

I only link to the SPLs provided by olipro and cmonex in the hard-SPL thread. If you need closer info about SPLs I suggest you ask there. I only tried to revert back to stock SPL 1.93 myself and it worked just like described in first post.
Thanks Op
Managed to restore it no problem, but took ages
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?

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))
Old roms here

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

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
Dear All,
this time, I have a problem and need your help, please.
I just bought a new (used, but not by me ) HTC Touch Diamond. Hard-SPL (1.37 from whoever) was installed.
First MTTY'ed the device - with success (set 14 0, task 29, task 8)
Wanted to install OliNex 1.40 first
Started ROM-Update, everything went fine, screen of Diamond changed into "bar display" - but stays there with 0%
Tried several flashes (OliNex, ROM, Radio - everything the same)
Does anybody have a hint for me what to do? Identifier seems ok, DIAM100 is shown in intial bootloader screen (three color-screen)
I appreciate any hint.
With kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph
Radio
Downgrade your radio to one below 1.02.XXX before flashing the unlocked radio
Full instructions to unlock your diamond are here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749201
Once you have done this, you can flash any ROM you like
Dear Dave,
thank you very much for your support.
Unfortunately it didn't help but showed everytime the same picture - stuck in the bar at 0% and doesn't do anything.
I tried STEP 1, STEP 2 and downgrading to radio 1.00.25.05 (but actually I don't know which is actually installed, as the Diamond never reaches the Touch Diamond page with ROM & HW Info, it stucks in the Touch Diamond page with no information at all, if started not in Bootloader mode)
It seems to me that the bootloader itself could be corrupted or the model number (shows DIAM100 in Bootloader) is somewhat corrupted, as I know that the internal storage consists of more digits (like DIAM10000 or so) - and a way to fix it with MTTY? But I can't find a description of the MTTY tasks of the Diamond.
Any more Idea?
Thank you Dave, and all the others who read and think, in advance.

Can you get into Bootloader mode by holding down
Volume down button + Back button (Bottom right button) + Press reset with the pen
Then keep pressed the first two buttons and let go of reset, keep hold of the first two buttons until it reaches the bootloader mode
If you can do this, then reboot and put the radio onto the storage card (4GB one) and enter bootloader mode, then folllow instructions on that screen to flash the radio, and you can do the same for the rom
It sounds to me like maybe you have not managed to flash the HardSPL properly
Hi Dave!
Thanks for your quick reaction.
Yes, I can anter bootloader mode. But nothing more. Flash is not possible. Hard-SPL was the first thing I tried to flash but it also remained at 0%
How can I put files on the internal storage card from within bootloader mode? (Phone is not booting, ONLY bootloader mode is accessible...) I never encountered this before...
But I can reach the phone with MTTY.. can I access the storage card through this?
X
Have your tried different HardSPL versions ?
Im not sure what is wrong... if you are in Bootloader mode, and the USB drivers are installed and you have activesync running on the PC it should update no problem
I would make sure all the above is true, and attempt different HardSPLs
I think that is the issue as you wont be able to flash an unlocked radio or custom rom without HardSPL being flashed first
Here is another version you could try
http://selfmod.net/how-to-hard-spl-a-htc-diamond/
EDIT - And I dont know if there is a way to access the storage card from MTTY or bootloader, my guess is that you wont be able to
Also, this is a GSM Diamond right ? Not a CDMA ? (UK Networks are GSM)
CDMA flash is here
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-diam...ond_c-cdma-sspl-hardspl-package-here-now.html
Hi Dave!
Yes, it's GSM. Thanks for your help and the links provided - it didn't help.
I tried various Hard-SPLs: OliNex 1.20, 1.30, 1.37, 1.40 and 1.93 (developers)
Result - all the same: standstill at 0%
I've seen in MTTY that I have an "upload" menu item - but need there the start address and command line for Diamond plus to know what it is meant for, I will try to find out... and if there is some new know-how out of this, I will post it here, in order that future GENERATIONS may find it *laugh*
Dave? THANKS!

Ok, lol Another possible !
Maybe your friend flashed a Signed HardSPL which means you can only flash Signed radios and roms until you flash another unsigned HardSPL
If the Radio you are trying to downgrade to is unsigned that could explain the issue... try and find a Signed radio below version 1.02.XXX and try to flash that, then try to flash to another Unsigned HardSPL, if the radio flash goes ok.
------------
Update stops at 0%
Short answer: You're running the normal HardSPL and you're trying to flash an unsigned (not signed by olinex) ROM. You need the developer version which fixes the 0% issue. Link is at the bottom of this post. Read on to understand the difference between Standard/Developer Edition!
Long answer: First you need to understand that there are two definitions of "signed". HTC and the mobile operators sign ROMs so that the RUU flash utility allows them to be flashed. Usually this is what the word "signed" in the filename means.
Then there is another definition of signed: The developers of HardSPL introduced their own signing process. They want to ensure that people flashing cooked ROMs can rely on a certain quality standard. The normal version of HardSPL will only allow ROMs signed by OliNex to be flashed. If the ROM you are about to flash is signed, it will say so in the thread you got it from. If it isn't signed, you will need the developer version of HardSPL. That one will allow any ROM to be flashed. Get it at the bottom of this posting.
A note on this: The signing process by olinex makes sure that the ROM you're about to flash won't brick your device. It doesn't mean all other ROMs are necessarily evil.

This is the answer. I used to have the same problem because when I bought my diamond I thought everything runs the same as the TyTN but ...
So to cut this story short, almost 90% of the 0% bar situations are because U R not using signed roms. However if Ya want to then use the unsigned HardSPL.
Hi Dave & Nazgul,
it seems that my case belonst to the non-90%
Of course I tried all this, but I have THREE diamonds - two were branded by the Swiss Swisscom (this is, in fact, the same image as the German Vodafone branding), one was the original HTC version
I'm flashing Diamonds since two years though.
My fault this time was, that I THOUGHT, this new one were HardSPL'ed, but it wasn't - and formatted the device using MTTY without Hard-SPL.
After that I had the above mentioned situation.
NO Hard-SPL was flashable - as written above - also noth the unsigned developer 1.93 edition - it always remained at 0%
I managed in the meantime to flash the original Vodafone/Swisscom ROM. So I have back the device in the official configuration (HTC Swisscom 1.97 package http://www.swisscom-mobile.ch/scm/d...pa=0x0x147x18x0x0x0x0x0&odg=SoftwareAndManual)
But - this uses Radio 1.08.xxx and I would like to downgrade because I think, Dave's hint above to use a radio before 1.02.xxx would be worth a try.
BUT - I STILL can't flash anything. Neither ANY Hard-SPL nor any Radio version nor any ROM.
The bar remains at 0%
I tried to find the original (first edition) of the Swisscom ROM Package, which used the Radio 1.00.25.05 - and then to try Dave's proposed steps.. but I can't find it anymore - all you can find is the "latest" package...
So I would still appreciate any help to be able to flash. Ok, now at least, I have a usable phone... but... I wanted to use it (as the other two) for ROM development testing, so who wants to have a PHONE!?!?
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph

I thought of having the V 1.00 complete official Swisscom-Pack and as part of it, the radio 1.00.25.05, which is included. Seems to me, that the c(complete) official ROM pack is flashable.
THEN I could re-try to flash Hard-SPL (with then installed radio below 1.02.xxx)
Hangover? What's this?

YEa that might work, it is almost certain the issue is the HARDSpl being either not flashed, or flashed with a signed version

Hi Dave - GOT IT, solved
The "secret" was to flash noit from withi boot loader but from within Win Mobile with ActiveSync/Windows Device Center connected.
Then say "Yes" when "enterbootloader.exe" was asked to be installed/invoked.
Then the Device rebooted, flashed Hrd-SPL 1.40 correctly - and everything else onwards went fine.
Thanks a lot for your assitance, Dave and others.
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph
Ah.. I thought you were already using the Activesync and CustomRUU to flash it with !
Yes, the ROMs and Radios can be flashed from the storage card, but the Hard SPL needs to be done from Activesync / CUstomRUU
Pleased you got it working anyway
