Newbie question - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

I have a dutch Diamond and i'd like to update my rom version to 1.37.707, but I don't know how to safely do this
Can anybody tell my how I should do this step-by-step?
What softare do I need and where can I find it?
Is this update permanent or can I return to the old rom version?
Thanks,
Henk Jan

read the forums so you'll learn that you will first need to install HardSPL (developer edition) before updating the ROM. It is semi-permanent, you'll need to flash your original ROM to go back. Backing up your current ROM is not straightforward. Search these forums for more information on that.

Could you mind to tell me how to backup my current rom??
thanks!

Offical Rom SSPL loadermethod for p3600 d810 m700 with noSPL noIPL noRadio

For those of you with a device that is NOT supported for the official WM6 rom release, this is what you need to do to flash it to your device. It is a reversable process (save for m700 users, you all need to backup your OEM rom first).
First step, if you don't have it already get hard-spl:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42938&d=1183561237
Second step, flash it if you didn't already have it.
Third step download my safely converted update:
http://rapidshare.com/files/4219712...oIPL_noRadio_offical_rom_sspl_loader.rar.html
Step 4, flash it.
If you want the radio, proceed to use the others posted here at the forum...

Check out racerx_'s guide over here:

It has step-by-step guides with pictures to guide you along. By the way, don't do anything before you read through the tons of information you can find on this site. Just to be on the safe side.
Hope this helps!
Thank's a lot Shadowmite,
Just one last question before I try :
You're refering to the "Hard-SPL_ZakMcRofl.zip" in your first post. On the other hand, I saw you opening a thread regarding the new "Hard-SPL 1.30 MFG - Oli.zip".
Which one should I/we use, or doesn't it make any difference.
Having a SFR/Vodafone s300+ I'm a bit scared as there's no genuine rom to downgrade back to in case I get blocked.
Bye
because he wrote that post before Olipro released his updated Hard-SPL.. use the new one.

Thank you so much!
I want to try this ROM right now, but I don´t have access to rapidshare-like sites here in my office.
Can someone upload this ROM to a public server ZIPped and RARed with password (to avoid proxy to sneak into the file... it's blocking some downloads...)
I can setup a FTP account. If someone can upload the ROM to my server, I can share the ROM with people who has the same problem with rapidshare-and-stuff sites.
Thanks!!!
installed the rom.
but....
now i want to return to the original rom and downgrading i obtain a vendor id error.
I tried to cid unlock the device also and the error i the same. any ideas that can help me?
thanks

ROM working but...
Hi there!
First of all thanks for the trouble of getting the nasty bits out of the bundle and giving us just the OS
But... (there seems to be always a "but" with WM6) I've been having some problems with this:
- VOIP is nowhere to be found, no SIP settings anywhere.
- Memory Stick corruption. From time to time my SDHC stick goes crazy, showing up strange characters for the filenames and only a soft-reset gets it back to normal.
- Did any of you guys manage to get Video Calling working?
Well... the major deal for me is the Memory Card issue... Anyone having the same problems? Any ideas?
Best,
M Addario
--
HTC P3600
any hard-spl will work for this repackaging of the release.. you're fine to proceed
yes, you have Des' crash-proof SPL
addario, there's really no need to post the same question in multiple threads..
This rom seem to not contain any ext_rom ...
The "Device Information" module dont report any EXT_ROM version ...
it's "normal" ?
The attached screen capture show the "Device information" tab.
There is no informations about the ext_rom.
I also cannot access to it thru Total Commander.
So... it seem that something is corrupted on this rom update...
Some Info....
@ Shadowmite
Dear could you please tell me from which version did you re-make this ROM & why is there no detail showing of ExtROM in Device Information.
Hi,
I'm completely new to all this but have done my best to try and figure it out for myself but I'd still like to make sure I've understood a few things correctly...
I have an SFR s300+ bought here in France. The OS is WM5 and I'd like WM6.
I have allready tried out the "off"+"camera button"= soft reset to see if I needed to install a hard SPL : I do. I've downloaded Des' Crashproof (due to the reassuring name).
I can now install that by following the guide without backing anything up yet...
Once done I will have to copy all my important info and then I will be able to flash any ROM of my choice (English, French, official or not) is that right? If I'm not mistaken and I can install any ROM, which English ROM is the best (this one looks good...)?
I'd also like to know if I have to install a radio after this or will the one I have at the moment (that works fine) be preserved?
If I do have to install a radio which do you recommend for SFR in France considering I sometimes go to Spain.
Thanks for your help

No. That's what I've been trying to research and accomplish. My ROMs are already lite ROMs that are customizable, BUT they require padding. (My newest ROM is UC compliant, also.)
I'm still working on the limiter, though...
EDIT: BTW, I'm a Herald cook, not an Artemis cook, but we share the same limiter.
Thanks for answer, but here Tom says it exist.
The real problem is: where get it?
But I wonder if he was just telling us that we should find a way to do that, not that there already is a way.
there is no way at the moment.
just hack the ruuupdateutil.

You found a way around it??? I thought it only worked through SD card?? Downloading it now to examine it and see if it's something that can be moved over to the Herald. Is it a modified SPL? A modified RUU software?

Hey!
Even though this has been discussed before - and a simple search would have given you the answers, here they are:
- will i void my warranty?
- YES
- will i flash the phone the way i flash my phone with the official rom?
- YES, check www.trinityguides.info
- how do i go back to the official rom once i've flashed it with the cooked rom?
- You can download official ROMs from the support site, or you can take a look here.
tnyynt, thanks.
Mind telling me what's hard SPL for?

Read the Wiki! Here and here!
Excerpt from racerx_ trinityguides.info:
Hard SPL will allow you to flash cooked ROMs without SuperCID’ing your device and also will protect your device from being bricked in a bad flash. If a bad flash occurs it should remain in bootloader, and you can re-flash another ROM.

And remember the rules: search (native forum search, google search), read the results, read the wiki, search some more and then ask!
tnyynt, once again thanx (i LOVE your themes by the way).
So, since my phone is unlocked, I don't have to do hard SPL right?
Just download the cooked rom and go from there?
sorry for keep asking questions here, i know i can search, but i'm confused with the terminologies.
be nice please

Enter bootloader and check for HardSPL and version to make sure. If it is either OliPro or Des, you can proceed with flashing.

Sorry, I missed the last few lines of your post. I think you're looking for the rom or ruu for CID HTC__339 and MID 2PS65000 . I wasn't able to find it in the post I linked, hopefully someone here on XDA can help you.
