Need Info on Original SPL for 2G diam 140 ( Indian Version )

What is the SPL version of the Indian 2G diamond?. Is the SPL Same as that of the other Diamond SPL. I had flashed my Diamond with Hard SPL. Is there anyway to revert back to the original SPL ?

I also have the same issue, anybody who have indian 2g diamond and not yet changed to HSPL please advise your original (stock) spl version. I am facing some hardware issue and want to send my 2g diamond to service center.

you will need the original HTC__ ROM file (.exe) which has radio spl and ROM.i loaded mine with same. that file is available somewhere in this forum.

Hi guys wondered if somebody could help me I hanve an orange HTC touch diamond on rom version 1.37 and wamt to upgrade to 1.93 but when I try it tells me that i cant upgrade does this mean I have to unlock the phone or do I have to update the hard spl first before been able to update the rom to 1.93

You have to hard spl then you can update to any of the roms here. Try using the search feature, I know it is your first post, we have all been there

Where did you find the 1.93 Orange ROM ? Or is it not the Orange one ? I've been looking for it in vain on french Orange's website... It is not even possible to register my own diamond phone (which is not listed in the possible owned phone even if it is in the catalog, as a matter of fact).

You can use any ROM, doesn't have to be an Orange one.
I only received my Diamond last week and found all the info I need to start flashing in this forum.
First you need to flash a new SPL, don't ask me what it means. A guide I read said there was a Soft and HardSPL. As you can guess the SoftSPL runs in the OS and umm the HardSPL runs in the bootloader !?
Without going in to too much detail as I'm not 100% sure myself, the HardSPL is how the hardware communicates with the OS, I guess much like the BIOS on a PC. And certain HardSPL's will only allow you to flash signed ROMs as a safeguard.
If you want to flash a new ROM, Radio or Splash/Boot screen then unless it's for your region and signed you'll first need to install an unsigned HardSPL. The most popular one seems to be the 1.40 SPL by Olinex. If you're not sure about what you're doing then install a signed HardSPL for now. This will only allow you to use the signed custom ROMs but at least you won't flash the wrong ROM to your device. Once you have a HardSPL flashed to you're device you can start flashing the different ROMs available.
It's impossible to recommed a ROM because everyone wants something different. I prefer to use lite ROMs with most of the default apps removed and no customs apps added. Things to make a note of are which orginal HTC ROM it is based on, which apps have been updated, which apps have been removed and what extra apps and tweaks are included.
Some ROMs also include Radios and Splash screens but the majority don't. Again decide on which radio and screen you want and flash in the same way as the ROM.
How to flash?
Most ROMs include the DiamondCustomRUU.exe app (a single file). Put this file into an empty folder. Extract the ROM, Radio or screen file and look for the file with an extension of .nbh. Copy only the .nbh file in to the folder where you copied DiamondCustomRUU.
Connect the Diamond to your PC via the USB cable. Make sure there is over 50% battery etc. Run DiamondCustomRUU.exe.
Make sure there is only one .nbh file in the folder or the RUU app won't know which one to use. You don't need to tell the RUU app what type of .nhb file it is either.

The modmydiamond site has most of the Q&A in one place about flashing ROMS on your handset.

Remove HardSPL

How do I remove HardSPL so that I can load my factory rom for a warranty return?
Can I just the load the vendors ROM or will this brick my phone?
My diamond is a UK vodafone version and I have a copy of their official ROM, I read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342744
but it says I need the IPL/SPL based on your device and carrier where would I get these?

you need to flash the ROM and Radio back first, then find a stock SPL and flash that.
MAKE SURE THE SPL IS THE LAST THING!!!

i even found the stock SPLs for u

I am not the one who asked the question but I thank you also. I don't need to reflash the rom for return but I will bookmark this just in case .

Thanks but I'm a little confused now, how do I flash the ROM and Radio back first and what is the SPL then. I followed the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400411 but I think these are the roms aren't they?

Yes, those are the ROMs. They do also include the radio.
Just use either the original RUU Updater to upload it to the phone or the patched one from OliNex.
After that you have to upload the original SPL.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39
for detailed instructions.

mugglesquop. Thank you for the original SPLs but I dont see the UK orange stock SPL listed...Can I use any 1.37 SPLs????
I used the search function on this forum and could not find the stock uk orange SPL. Thanks.

Afaik there are no stock orange spl. Standard spl (same version) should work.
To be sure, get a orange rom and extract the spl from there.

viperbjk. Thank you for the info. I extracted an orange ROM and found a file named "RUU_signed.nbh". I believe this is the bootloader file that I will need to load after installing the original orange ROM.
Hopefully this will work and can send my Diamond back to orange.Thanks

The RUU_signed.nbh is normally the complete rom package. You have to extract it, to see if SPL is in it.
Cya,
Viper BJK

I can confirm there is no "orange" SPL

Yes, you can do it via RUU. Like any radio upgrade, it will not touch the OS and you will not loose anything. Keep in mind that the phone needs to be SuperCID unlocked or else you will not be able to flash it. (different from HardSPL unlock)

thanks for replying. Im new to flashing. Can you point me in the right direction in terms of supercid?

or the easier way.
download it in the rru, there should be an nbh file.
USE A 2GB MEMORY CARD OR LESS
then just rename the nbh file as "VOGUIMG.nbh" or "VOGUIMG" and throw it into bootloader and it should flash.

[Q] Can't flash ROM/radio

Hello everyone,
I have an HTC Touch Diamond.
ROM version 1.37.404.3 NLD (original version)
Radio version 1.00.25.03
Also, its the GSM version
I started this weekend searching for ways of how to upgrade my HTC touch diamond's OS to WM 6.5. I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
I downloaded every program I needed. I downloaded a radio version i liked (1.00.25.05.rar) and a ROM I liked (Energy.DIAMOND.28244.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Dec.21.7Z). To update the radio, i dl'd the Custom RUU as indicated in the guide.
I upgraded my phone to the HardSPL as indicated in the guide. when everything was done, I tried to update my radio version as indicated. I placed the RUU in a seperate folder, and i placed the radio version in the same folder. My phone was synced and ready to be updated. I started the RUU. it asked me if I understand the risks, i continued. It asked me if my phone was ready, I continued. then it tried to read the files in the folder, but it said it didn't recognize them. I checked the folder and not only the radio was in it, but also: enter bootloader, ErrorBattery.fig, ErrorUSB.fig, ModelID.fig, rapitool, RomUpdateutility(the one i used to update my HardSPL, and wich I have deleted already), RUUGetinfo and RUUresource.dll.
So I retried and the same error occured. Then i tried to run RUU, and before clicking next, I removed all the files from the folder, except the radio. i click next and next, and instead of the wrong file error, it says my device isn't connected. I do not understand this as it was synced, and I could even move files to and from my device.
I retried several times with and without removing the files from the folder. NO SUCCES. The same result with my Energy rom
Please help me because I searched google and this site for people with the same problem, but I couldn't (and can't) find any. I have no idea, am I doing something wrondg here? Is it because the radio version is .rar? Do i need to dl a .rar program? like 7Zip? Or does the radio need to be a .nbh file
Also, I entered bootloader on my device, and it says my HardSPL is
SPL-1.40.OliNex . This is the HardSPL as indicated in the guide.
P.S: is the site modmydiamond.com not there anymore or something? Or is it my computer.
PPS: How's my english? I'm dutch and i'm doing Cambridge English at my school. If I do something wrong, pm me
PPPS: I am a beginner on this kind of computing. How does Rom work exactly?
EDIT: if this is on the wrong forum, where exactly do I have to place this?

well, you did everything nicely to flash the HSPL. but you seem to have missed out on mtty.
try mtty and we will begin again. (btw search for mtty in the Diamond ROM development thread. you cant miss it as it has been stickied)
as for your english...i didnt know you were dutch until i read the last line where you said u are dutch
hehe...so ur english is very good

DEAD NOW?
how exactly can i flash it?

its working
