Hi,
I'm trying to return from Elite 2.0 (with Signed HardSPL 1.30) to stock RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.
I've searched and searched and read articles here, and according to articles in the "HardSPL Supported ROMs & Requests" forum I need to FIRST return to stock ROM & Radio, THEN restore stock HardSPL.
Problem is, I can't upgrade to the stock ROM file above (it stays at 0%).
And they clearly say I should NOT revert to stock SPL before reverting to stock ROM.
So I'm kind of stuck in a loop here.
Could anyone please make a clear, step-by-step procedure ?
(and then make it a sticky for all of us maybe)... I know the standard response to this kind of question is "search in the f***ing forum", but come on guys, there's so much confusion and conflicting info, how can you know which info is reliable ?
thanks.
yeah, i'm gonna say it: search the forum for fecks sake!
the 0% problem has been answered in my thread (see my signature). the mods don't care enough to stick it, so if you want it easily available & stuck, complain to them.
first flash a stock rom. then stock spl !
Edit: to use a stock rom you do not need a stock spl. you really only need a stock spl for warranty reasons!

Hi everyone,
I'm very new to the world of cooking or flashing roms etc. I appreciate this will be quite boring to most of you, but I was hoping someone could help me understand the basics. I'm from the UK and have just brought a HTC Touch Diamond on Orange network which I am very happy with. I am however keen on the idea of trying a new, potentially faster ROM. I currently have 1.37.405.1WWE. I have read a lot of good things about Manila and some others on here (elite) but I'm unsure whether to try one or not. My first question is how hard or easy is it to install a new ROM and what could go wrong? Could a newbie potentially ruin my new phone? Can I re-install the old ROM if I don't like the new one? I have read a lot about people doing manual changes etc , but I don't know any coding. Do I need to? I have searched the forum, but couldn't find any answers to such basic questions. Please could someone help me?!?!?
Thanks
It is not very hard to flash your phone with the ROM of your choice and usually it's quite safe as long as you follow the recommended procedure. Installing HardSPL is the first step which will ensure that a cooked ROM will not "brick" your phone. This is flashed as per the normal flashing procedure. Following this, you can choose the ROM you fancy ( I use Bepe's and I am very happy with it) and flash, again using the same procedure. The cooked ROMS are much faster than the stock ROM and usually very stable. Bepe produces 2 version of his ROM, Basic and Premium, whose major difference is that Basic does not include TF3D. Finally you can also flash a Radio ROM if for whatever reason you are not happy with the connectivity features and stability provided by your current ROM.
No coding required to do any of the above.
there is a nice guide here which shows you step by step how to flash a ROM:

I reckon the "flashing" part of your question has been answered.
Regarding the "cooking" part, what can I say... You won't learn till you do it yourself.
There are a few excellent guides out there (you can start with the xda-dev wiki)
And remember - search is your best friend. Both questions could have been answered if you'd have searched the forum.

Hi
Firstly let me say welcome to the forum, however there are a lot of new ROM's out there in french.
I am afraid there is a lot of reading to do, firstly I would have a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462....an excellent guide on how to flash etc.

Hello and thks,
i try to upload the ROM version and i have this picture should i continue or my version is higher then the downloaded version?
That is for installing Hard spl, it's not a rom, it's the boot loader. And it is better than stock, and helps in recovery, if something bad were to happen when you flash.
I suggest that you read quite a bit more before you just go randomly flashing, or looking for the highest build number. Newest isn't always best, and there are tons of custom built roms around here.
Check the wiki, there is tons of information there, and here in the forums already.
yes do readup. you dont want to go ahead flashing recklessly or youll end up with a bricked phone.... which is quite a useless thing to have.
hi all i have a t-mobile compact iv but it is so slow (as i've read in other posts its to do with the rom).
as a newbie to all this i actually have NO idea what is going on but want to flash with a new rom.

will make a donation to the site if anybody helps me do this!!!!!
thanks alot

Hi, I'm not really an expert but I've successfully flashed several roms onto my diamond.
Firstly you should read a little over here and see what you must do first. Your phone is branded so you'll need to flash something called Hardspl (It probably unlocks the branded phone) and than you can go to the forum and look for a rom that you like and flash it following the instructions in the post of the above link. Radio rom is important for signal quality, gps signal and definitely battery time. Flashing is safe and easy if you follow the instructions and after you do it Bye
http://www.modmydiamond.info/ is also useful
I have tried to get the basics rt but it became an info overload. I know i would require HARDSpl to flash to a cooked rom. ...but am not sure how to install hard spl and then go abt flashing my phone...
would really appreciate if someone can give it out in steps or provide links stepwise on how to do it.
thanx in advance
they are all already there just read the sticky threads in this forum for more information, along with hspl you should get your phone security unlocked and update a radio rom so that the switch to a custom rom is very smooth. I'm in India and I have flashed most of the roms here without any issues.
Try this TUT by Badwolve - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608668
It gives a good indepth yet clear instruction set to flash your ROM from ground up.
Hi,
I am using unrooted Neo l working on ics.
I want to install MULTIBOOT XPERIA NXT R2 ROM on my neo l.
Please someone tell me all the steps to do the same.
Thanx in advance
Sorry by mistake post in wrong form.
but help please if someone can
Like you realised, you're in the wrong forum, but you can still repost your question in the right place
Please do some searching before you do anything. I've read a few of your posts and you don't seem to like to use Google to find things by yourself.
For that phone, think you'll need to unlock bootloader (you've asked about how to do it before), install a custom recovery, make a nandroid backup, then full wipe and flash the ROM. These are standard steps widely available
Instructions will also be in that particular ROM thread.
But like I said, please do some searching for guides as they are all there. The more you read, the more you learn, less chance of things going wrong again Best of luck.
