Please help on rom and radio for 8525

i done cid unlock and sim unlock also installed Hard-SPL-v7 and have now download : Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.62.3_ATT_Full.rar: rom
does this have a radio on or do i need to install one
and also what order does have to be in like
install radio first, then the rom or the rom first then the radio
thank guys

I dont believe Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.62.3_ATT_Full comes with a radio. you should do a search on that to read whats in the rom. If you are going to upgrade the radio PLEASE make sure You read the Wiki on what to do( search under radio rom upgrade or something like that). Be aware that there may be a problem upgrading to radio rom version 1.5x and check to see what people in your area are using as it could impact on reception and battery life. IF you decide to upgrade the Radio rom, be aware that ANY problems doing so can brick you mobile & it isn't fixable... you can use the pda part, but not Phone. So saying, if you follow the instructions in the wiki you should have no problems. Happy Upgrading. (Read the wiki).

thanks ultramag69 for reply
what if i dont upgrade the radio can i just upgrade to rom ?
thanks

Yes you can just upgrade the OS.
It is not advisable to upgrade radio all the time, so if your current radio version you have works good in your area, then stick with it!

thanks ai6908 for the reply

and once i install Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.62.3_ATT_Full.rar

Radio improves your signal reception a bit, and it all depends on the area in which you live in too! I would suggest you upgrade your radio to 1.40 atleast. Radio links can be found in wiki.

thanks ai6908 for all your help i flash the rom and O.M.G what a diffence
i think i am going to play around with for while then do the radio.
once again thanks

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.

i hv read this for almost like 30-40 times....but still cant decide......that which would b good for my configuration..!!!

It just depends what you want.
Do you want a light rom or a full rom? I think you should choose a 2.03 rom for example the Aztor X2 WWE. If you don't like it you can always choose an other rom.

if i hspl my device..
can i get my original spl, Radio etc by using Stock Rom Upgrade, which is available at HTC India ???

If you cant figure out what is best for you just by reading the loads of help and stickied threads, maybe you should not be doing this to your phone.
IMHO, you should install the dev hardspl as the other one will severely limit what you can do. I noticed your in India, is your device a 3g diamond? If not, you will need to do more reading.

Traditionally, you can get back to the original SPL but it's very crucial that you find this out for sure as it's ultimately your responsibility if anything happens. I read for days before crossing the line.

[Q] ROM upgrade question??

hello guys
i have the HTC Touch Diamond (p3700) from rogers, and i was wondering since the phone is locked to the rogers network, is it possible for me to install a custom rom on the phone?? or do i have to do the sim unlock to do that??
sorry, this might be a noob question but i need the question answered as i had the O2 Xda Mini S before my HTC which was unlocked and this is the first time i actually purchased a phone from rogers since i get all my phones from out canada
thanks for your help guys, really appreciate it

i have a rogers HTC diamond as well.. and its got the winmob 6.1 5.2.19965 build 1.2.3 Year 2008.. the HTC website doesnt let me download the feb 2009 firmware as the device is not suitable..
a few simple Noob questions please..
1 - its working in my country with other network sims, all of them but the phone strartup says rogers... is my cell unlocked or not?
2 - will Hard Spl remove everytrace of rogers from my phone? (i actually wana debrand it from rogers to plain standard retail version)..
3 - Will any firmare upgrade using hardspl method work on my cell?.. and what will happen to the orignal FW? will it be erased permanently, or will it still be stored in a secret storage, so that it can be retrieved later when i plan to sell it later and rest to factory defaults?
Again, as a newcomer and a noob at the Xda dev scene, i would apreciate any kind of help .
thanks in anticipation..

Hi,
As far as I know, you should be able to install any ROM you want.
But make sure you have flashed Hard-SPL Olinex Unsigned,
just try the link in my sig and follow steps 6 - 11.
You still need an unlocker to make it possible using other networks though.

1. Yes your phone is unlocked, but you are using a rogers customized ROM. Try a different ROM to remove it.
2. No, Hard-SPL will not remove it. You'll need to flash another ROM to do that.
3. Firstly, if you are flashing/upgrading a new firmware (we call it ROM) then all data will permanently removed.
There are some packs to revert your ROM back to stock, but I don't know if there are any Rogers ROM's available on the net.
I hope I have answered all your questions.
Good luck both!

hey thanks a lot for the reply, finally someone replies, and this method will not brick my phone right?? since that is what scares me the most the fact that i mite end up bricking my phone

Thanks a lot Elcondor.. it solved half of my problems..
the only thing is,, i tried the 6.5 Prototype rom and rogers sill show up on the startup screen.. i flashed the splash screen, and still the lower 100pixels appear pink, out of no where..
and i simply wana DEBRAND the whole **** of rogers from it, so that i can upgrade the 2.0.0.00 rom version to the HTC official 2.0.43 version, but evertime i download from there, and try updating it, it says, Model ID not compatible..
is there a way to remove the entire rogers crap from it, and get it cleaned like a retail version?...
Thanks a lot sir..

No, it shouldn't brick your phone. In fact, Hard-SPL makes your device hardly brickable. Just try it, you will not be dissapointed. But, it's not my responsabillity if you brick you diamond, keep that in mind.

The splash screen is a harder part to do. You need Patchsplash to patch your splash screen. In that way, the splash screen should appear right. Note that the procedure to do that is pretty hard. Here are some more instructions if you didn't get it.
And about a Diamond stock ROM, take a look here. A 2.03.4 ROM including a new radio and the splash screen.
Good luck guys!

No prob my friend, xda-devs is to help each other.
To recommend a ROM is pretty hard, since there are very different kind of ROMs available.
Do you want a ROM with full Diamond2 experience, without WM 6.5(.x) try Gen. Y D2 R4.
Or, do you prefer a light WM6.5(.x) ROM, try BSB 6.5.1. It is pretty fast and light.
In a short time, I am going to release a 6.5.1 ROM (called Condor GT), with very nice graphics and still very fast.
Just give some a shot and you'll soon find out which ROM is the best.
BTW All the ROMS given in this thread are better that stock ROMs, just to be clear
Regards,

Upgrade to official sense 2.5 rom, different region?

My phone is EasternEurope region coded, so HTC gave us only 6.5 upgrade to sense 2.1 (october 2009). I`ve been waiting for new rom upgrade (`cause every other region is allowed to), but H*C support send me a answer:
"Dear Mr.xxxxx
Thank you for contacting H*C.
Kindly note that for the time being we have no information when the upgrade will be released. However, please send us your software information from Start>settings>system>device information>version
If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again.
Please note that you can contact us via support line. For further details, please go to http://www.h*c.com/europe/CA_Hotline.aspx , you'll find a toll free number that you can dial only from a landline.
Thank you so much for using H*C products.

So, there`s no help, only hope for us. So, I downloaded a WWE Europe rom :RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship
My question is, as a flashing rom noob, can I flash it on my device without a issues. My device has ROM version: 1.86.401.1(67102)WWE, ROM date: 10/07/09, Radio version: 4.49.25.17, Protocol version: 61.44tc.25.32U.
I also have a Olinex 0.85 Hard SPL.
P.S. I read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540 (Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs)), but I just wanna be sure that everything will be fine.

I'm in the US, and I have flashed the ROM you mention several times. I use it as a base ROM for my own version.
As long as you have HardSPL on, you should not have any problems. You can always go back to what you have now if HTC has posted the Ship ROM or you find it here somewhere.

hi darkic,
any progress? did it work? thx

Yes it will work. With hard spl you can flash ANY rom. That includes cooked and stock. That the radio version are different doesn't matter. The radio controls the signal for you're rhodium. If you get less reception you can always flash the old radio back.

Confirmed, European rom works without any issue. Also, if hspl is installed, in a warranty repair case, there is a way to instal stock spl with Olinex relocker.

Darkic, enjoy your new rom! By the way - you don't need Hard SPL for stock roms. And Congs! Flashing can be daunting in the beginning.
