Hey all,
Hoping to get the phone on T-Mobile soonish; but that Pink UI will drive me crazy .
I used to flash a P3300 so was wondering is it near enough the same process with the Diamond? and I'm guessing all the roms in here are a thousand times more stable that operator stock; any suggestions?
thanks to all
JT

Sorry,i imagine this has been asked many times before.I have seen mention of Hard spl's and other thing a ma jigs lol.
Many thanks Tony
You really have a lot of reading to do. So much that we cannot post it all here. It has taken an entire forum for all of the information. You need to start here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Get familiar with what you can do. First thing you are going to want to do is update the boot loader so you don't brick your device. Read here for more information:

Do not "just install" ... ideally read the wiki first, and then follow instructions on Mrvanx's Guide. Upgrading is pretty painless and easy ... and the guide should keep you on track.
A ha ,i knew there would be more to it than that,not sure what a wiki is lol but looks like im gonna find out.
If someone could just give me a list of things to do before hand ill do the appropriate reading
i.e 1 upgrade the boot loader etc etc ,please dont go into detail a mere shopping list will do.
,thanks for the links by the way.
Best wishes tony

Here is the list you wanted:
Read the wiki
Read the installation guides.
Read the threads concerning the threads on available roms.
Understand what you have read.
Flash your phone.
Here you go... step by step list of everything you need to do to upgrade to the Black 3.0:

My subjective pick is Black 3.01 ...
Remember to go "Hard SPL" first, and that you need to upgrade your radio seperately.
Right just updated the Hard splv7 and my radio to 1.41.00.10,ive also flashed with black 3.0. Now i cant seem to get a wireless link to work or turn on my bluetooth?
Also does this mean i can flash any cooked rom?
Many thanks Tony
Update: it just needed a reboot and all was well.
Getting back to the above question-can i flash with any coocked rom now?
Thanks for all your help.Tony

generally speaking, yes.... but be sure you are flashing OS only (unless you want to upgrade your radio too). Most folks are putting out OS only upgrades now, but some replace the radio. once you are hard spl and no longer a flashing virgin, it becomes second nature.
Thanks for everyones help,all sorted,nice one!
Wow what a refreshing read. A noob explaining himself and asking clear questions and members helping him out in an open and non-judgemental way...
Well done everyone!
...and no flames...
Kudos go to MrVanx for those incredible guides.
Yep superb guides and a very noob friendly thread,thanks again peeps.Flashed to a couple of different roms today to check them out.
hi im a really new new newbie so please dont flame me
i know i may have posted this in the wrong section, sorry if i have
basically i am trying to upgrade my spv m3100 to black diamond 3.5
i have flashed the HardSPL to version IPL 1.04 and SPL 2.10olipro from IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.04 (HardSPL7) as instructed by the hermes guide website.
I am basically now trying to upgrade the radio to version 1.41.00.10: but when i run the ROMUpgrade.exe i am asked to specify the SPL i have, the Hermes guide website advised me to click auto detect, however when i press this i get the error message "Error, unknown version! you should pick SSPL"
please help as i dont know what i should do now, thanx everyone
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
start reading...
The clincher is that it says "you should choose SSPL"..........but dont.......
select Bootloader 2.10 then tick the "is it HardSPL?" box.
This has been addressed a few times.
thanx for your help, im really sorry for being ignorent

man that upgrading process was stressfull
do you know what was running through my head during the process:
please not a 200quid brick please no lol
i had 6 ciggerates while upgrading, this upgrading stuff aint good for my health lol
wow i just answered this question 3 hours ago in the hermes upgrading section. just for fun, i did a google xda-search for the exact phrase "please help", came up with 13,400 results
lol
iv got a few problems now
if you lot can give me a link to another thread that would be great
it doesnt read the memory card, says its not installed
cant use bluetooth headset, cant connect active sync using bluetooth
sorry again
search for the answers they have already been addressed. we can give you a nudge here and there, but we are not going to spoon feedd you answers that you can easily find yourself. i would start by reading the black dymond thread. then get really good with the search tool.
good luck
Its a site dedicated just for upgrades and how to do upgrades.
hi
I tried looking around and really couldnt find any information for n00bs to help them cook there own roms.
could someone please advise me where this information is available or if someone can do a breif guide on what to do and how?
dont meen to ask TOO much but its really been buggin me.
Your pretty much going to have to read and search...
I have been trying to make my own for awhile and no luck until a couple nights ago I finally got something "cooking".
I found I ended up using two or three different programs to cook with since they all seem to do a little different.
Sorry I can't personally be of more help but you are going to have to search and read since no one will probably take the time to make it "super easy".
Bhups,
Start with the wiki. There are now a number of ROM kitchens that make cooking "relatively easy" to where we were a few months ago.
My suggestion would be to find the threads in the Development & Hacking forum and simply read through them to build up your knowledge base. This will take some time so be prepared.

Ummm ... you asked this very same question in this thread, and were given an answer (by me)
Why start a new thread with this, instead of reading answers to your last post on the issue?
-pvs
Search the Wizard thread for Faria's Kitchen, it has lots of information about cooking a ROM. Just remember that most of things might be the same for Hermes, but you cant put a wizard ROM on hermes and vice versa. Good luck, keep searching and reading. Follow the link in my signature as needed.
cheers all...
pvs - i'm sorry, I think I missed that thread.
Been so fustrated tring to find places for tutorials I forgot what I posted where.
I thougt someone may have a dummies way of cookin roms ready so they can post it as a reply on a new topic and it can be eaiser for others to find this solution.
It obviously now seems like there is ALOT of reading to do on this, and in multiple places.
okidoki peeps..
me off to it.
Thanks again to all!
i just got my diamond 2 days ago but i dont know where to start with roms, spls, radios to have the latest software
i have a htc dream rooted and everything but this phone is very different
sorry about making a new thread but i just dont know how to start..please help
I would recommend you read the stickies at the beginning of this forum. You'll find there everything you need to know.

Welcome to xda-developers, solaabdul.
First of all, why all those caps? It's perfectly readable in normal letters.
Secondly, everyone wants a "flashing for dummies guide" and a personal trainer to get the latest roms on their device. The trick is, finding those guides by using the "search" function, on top of this forum.
You can use the advice given by Raving_nanza to get your device updated.
Good luck in finding the right rom for your device.
