ONLY FOR HTC DIAMOND(VICTOR)
Ok .. , Something i thought this forum needs
Step 1 - Which Diamond have you bought ?
Is it the one with 3G or Not .., In most cases you would probably have an 3G enabled version however countries like India etc .. have the 2G version officially on sale ..
Step2 - Why should i FLASH ?
Flashing an new ROM would give your diamond's performance an significant boost but however it does have its short comings as it may not be perfect and in case of warranty you would have to restore to your original ROM ..
Step 3 - Ok .., Flashing ? Now you got to decide which ROM to flash
As i previously mentioned all ROM's have their short comings so decide carefully on which one you want to flash .. (Don't Create a seperate thread asking which one to flash because every one has his/her personal preference)
Step 4 - ROM decided ? .. Ok time to back it all up
Use ACTIVE SYNC on Windows XP or Windows mobile device center on Vista to back up all your data ..
NOTE - Flashing would result in loss of Data on your internal storage (NOT THE 4 GB ONE ) which includes messages , contacts , applications etc ..
Step 5 Prepare your PC
Turn off Hibernation , Standby , and other things that could lead to shutting down of pc ..Make sure Active Sync is installed on Windows XP .., if not download here ..Also if by any chance your area gets frequent electrictiy cuts you are better of using an backup source as disconnection while flashing may result in permanent damage..
Step 5 - Preparing the DIAMOND ...
Make sure the battery is around 75% (50% MIN)charged and connect the diamond to your PC .. Choose Active Sync on your Diamond (Selected in image below)and wait for the Active Sync to pair with it .. , Once you get the GREEN active sync icon on your start up (Bottom Right ).. You are ready to go ..

Active Sync icon >(2nd from right)
Step 6 - Which Hard - SPL for me ...
Ok .. ,one last decision you have to make .. which SPL to choose .. ,you can either go for the DEVELOPER EDITION which would allow you to install any ROM (Less Safer) or you could go for SIGNED edition which only allow for flashing ROM's approved by the experienced members here ..but this won't allow you to flash RADIO on your device ..
NOTE - If you HAVE a 2G DIAMOND you have only 1 option that is to install DEVELOPER EDITION AS YOU NEED TO FLASH THE RADIO TOO
Step 7 -
Note i will finish the tutorial tomorrow as i have some important work to finsh
Great tutorial espesially for me and people who have Victor 3702. I will be waiting for it's completion. I think i will not be able to use signed SPL, because i have Victor from Taiwan and as i understand it's not in the list of digned ROMs.
THanks anyway!
great tutorial,can't wait to finish.
thx
thanks
for the great tutorial,....waiting for the rest.....really helps a "dummy" like me!!!!
much respect!!!
Good idea, but I would rather call that thread spamming.
There are already a LOT of flashing tutos on xda, even in the diam dev thread.
Why make YET another one?
IF you want to contribute, wiki's the place.
great idea !!! i`ll be waiting for more instructions.
by the way, i used to see that screen , but i don`t get it anymore, although i didn`t choose the "don`t ask again" option... is this ok?

All your Windows directories? You should just backup your own files and put them on your Storage Card. Flashing a ROM doesnt clear your Storage Card.

thanks for your reply
if I understand well , can update the rom without any damage to my storagecard
it's a very good news
i have all the cabs in it and in my PC too (with exe programs for install)
so I can install a new rom and reinstall wm6 wwe from htc
it is a long way and many time to test all that
very funny for me
last question : I'll lose all in my today settings I suppose , can you confirm ?
yes everything will go back to "factory settings" just factory settings for the new rom you are flashing
one thing I don't understand if storage card is not erased , how can I have the programms in : Start Programms after installing new rom
is there a cab to do that ?
You will have to create manually the links to your programs in the storage card.
Ka
OK finally just for changing screens to have french ones I think I don't have to change , I keep all in english
Or if I do I need a test phone so LOL
Nobody has a cheap one for me ????
huh what?
looking for a new phone now ?
HI
with all the time used for this PDA , I dont want to lose all
that's the only reason LOL
Hi All,
Hope you all don't mind I'm asking and hopefully somebody out there can give me the answer.
I flashed my tab few weeks ago but can't remember which ROM it was. Probably Chainfire's. My device details:
GT-P1000
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: P1000XXJPZ
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
My question is can I flash Overcome ROM to my tab? Is it safe?
Thank you so much in advance.

Hello to everyone in xda-developers. Thank you guys for existing!
I have a problem uprading my HTC TyTN to official ROM version HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108.exe. Im a complete noob and have never flashed my pda before. My eyes burned from reading the forums for 4 days now. Basicaly what my problem is:
I've downloaded the RUU and I run it on my Pc (XP, Active Synk 4.5), connect the pda and when the device goes in to bootloader the active sync looses connection, so the RUU doesnt show my current rom version. The active synk is disconnected all the time. I press update, the progress bar shows on Pc and Pda, it goes to 1%, it stops giving me invalid vender id error and restarts PDA. I tried a different approach - i run the RUU, and on the page where is says "make sure that the active sync is connected" I connect the Pda. Active sync is connected then and I go to the update page and now it shows my rom version. I click update and the screen of the Pda goes dark, and in a while I get the connection error. I'm I doing something wrong?
I red almost everything several times, and I cant do it. I feel like a dumbass Can someone tell me if it's possible that my device is CidLocked, because the OS is in English, and when I go to the HTC e-club cite, it allows me only to download German version ROM? Do I have to try to CID unlock using AUTO_Unlock_v3a.bat and install HARDSPL7 before installing that ROM? Will I be able to install official ROM's if I do?
Thanks to all the addicts that will help. I promisse to learn fast!
HTC support
I also wrote to HTC online support - they haven't replied for several days now. Some support...
Hello, correct you do need to learn a bit more before proceding down this avenue im afraid From what ive read definatly DO NOT attempt to CID unlock the device....there is no need anyway.
First give us the following information:
What brand of Hermes do you have? Orange, Tmobile etc...
What language is the device in??
Where are you running the device??
What do you want to do??
You ARE a noobie....but thats not a bad thing....we all were at one stage so the best thing you can do is to give us that information and I will attempt to point you in the right direction.
Hello MrVanx
Hi MrVanx,
my admirations, I know I'm talking to a guru here, I red many of your guides. I can not say I understood much, but got a basic picture of things.
I will not attempt to CID Unlock the device as you suggested.
I think the PDA is genuine HTC TyTN. On the front side its only written HTC, behind the battery HERM200. I will upload an image, so you can see for yourself. The device is in English, but when I log in to HTC e-club, the only available rom for me is German. Maybe the PDA is imported in Bulgaria from Germany.
I'm using the Pda in Bulgaria (East Europe), the carrier is Globul.
What I want to do with the device is to upgrade it to a newer version of windows. I would like also to try some of the cooked roms but I don't feel quite so confident in my flashing skills - I actualy think I don't have any skills yet I really like the black today screen of LVSW WM6, can this be better for me than the official HTC WM6 ROM? Will I be able to upgrade to HTC WM6 official ROM and if I don't like it to go to LVSW?
Thanks for helping MrVanx. I couldn't think of a more appropriate person.

after the upgrading with different type of mobile Rom , the mobile was unable to turn on . i just see the black screen without anything .. i try to restart it but still black screen .. when i try to connect it via USB my Windows wouldn't recognize the mobile ..
is there any help please??
i try to download the original ROM from the o2 website but the link is die and o2 doesn't support xda exec anymore ..
http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaExecSoftware.aspx
also
http://xda.o2.co.uk/devices/xda_exec.jsp
thanks in advance
CFIL
have you tried to boot into bootloader mode and reflash an o2 rom from there?
(can be found on the ftp )
what do you mean by bootloader mode , if you mean to press the two butoons to format the phone and install new one , then yes i tried it many times but nothings comes in the screen just black screen and sometime i have seen a version number like v1.0 ..
do you have the original ROM from the o2 via ftp ? post it please ..
thanks.
CFIL
You should take a kook at the wiki. There's a link at the top of the page.
Bootloader mode is accessed by pressing backlight, power and reset and there is no backlight, so take a close look...
EvilJogga i did that many times but nothings change just black screen with above USB written and bellow v2.10 .. just like this ..
is there any help ?!
thanks in advance..
CFIL
that is bootloader mode..
means you can reflash etc.
Thanks kingsizeriz for the help...
How can I reflash or install new ROM that can my mobile work again..
Also when I connect it to my pc the Activesyns doesn't see my mobile.
CFIL
did you CID unlock your device?
if so then i suggest installing ranjus v7.4 or similar if not get the original o2 rom from the ftp and extract it, in there it will have the application to run
it wont try to flash unless it can recognise the device so have a play around
i had to replace all the original flashing utilities with the "unsafe" MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
as mine kept failing with the other :S
however i got your problem once, edited ranjus to include that utility and run it.
if that made sense?
Hi kingsizeriz ,My mobile is Unlooked ,I understood everything and I will try to do it ..
But I don't know from where can get the original o2 rom .. Do you have it please?
i try to search for it in the o2 website but all links are die .which are HTTP not ftp..
Thanks.
CFIL
all o2 links are dead
and they are not currently on xda-devs ftp (my mistake)
http://www.buzzdev.net/downloads.php?category=44
sign up there and download
you may need to download the launch rom then the update
im not to sure though.
Thank you kingsizeriz ,, its very useful . I will try to fix it and I wish my mobile come to live again..
Thanks man
CFIL
let me know how it goes
i installed the original ROM , when I finish the ROM processer said i have to disconnect from usb then open it ... I have been try it many times I got a message on my mobile with white screen and black written said "
press 0 to restore
factory default
press x to exit "
When I press 0 or x it comes screen with different color such as red, black and green. I have been waiting up to 30 mints put nothing change.
I tried it many times with different preening from 0 to x but still the same.
I thought I have to install the upgrade when i connect to the pc it didn't recognize the mobile.
I am sorry to bothering you guys.
best regards.
CFIL
what utility did you use to boot?
and leave the screen open whilst booting (it shows a percentage on the screen )
and press 0 when it prompts that
Hi kingsizeriz , i used the O2 Xda Exec Launch ROM v113139 ROM.
I did as you said, but i didn't see the percentage on my screen. I was waiting for the restore then I pressed 0 but nothing change. Then I wafting now for 1 day and the mobile in the charger but nothing change just screen with mixed colors
Best regards.
CFIL
if you CID unlocked your device try flashing ranjus v7.4 and see if that works?
Hello ,
Can anybody help i have i780 and there was WM6.5 23412 and i tried to update it to 23420 or 23071 but with both of these rom i got problem with flashing PHONE with mirage but failing in 50-70 % depending the size of rom..
I have had done it before to and no problems wasnt then ,and right know i have only pda functions and in the version button in settings there is only PDA number PHONE is blank,
using windows 7 and virtual windows xp!
Can anybody tell what may go wrong?
I have tried different things but neither on them working!
Sry my bad english!
Man, just realised what are you doing.
You are trying to flash PDA part to PHONE
All ROM's that are cooked are only PDA part!
PHONE part stills untouch!
You have now to reflash PDA and PHONE from offical samsung firmware.
After that you flash ONLY PDA part from any new version found here.
Good luck!
Just for case:I just say that with wm6.5 all was working probably. after ja try phone side was writing filed , last thing what i was tried was PDA side over flash in it worked! BUT PHONE side of mirage fail writing!

Ah thats simple. To flash phone part flasher changes usb state to cdma modem driver. So u need to install it first.
CDMA Modem Drivers:

Man you make me smiling! I wrote about this mistake before!
Look where you have to flash new ROM's - it"s PDA part (not PHONE)
So now phone part is wrong, because you have flash it with pda bin.
Make nwo next procedure:
Open in "PDA" : WM6.5.. ..bin
Open in "Phone": phone.bin (find download link below)
Flash! After first boot make hard reset.
Good luck
Phone part http://www.mediafire.com/file/mnzyd2mzdi5/PHONE.rar. Dont forget to upack phone.bin from rar
thank you! It worked ! I understand i before wanted to but pda to phone part!
but firstly when i got that mobile there was wm6.0 then i upgrade it to 6.1 and then with bin fail 6.5 but i remembered that i put both wm6.5 bin to pda and phone part and then it worked... or i might done something differently
anyway big thanks to you
Thank You
I had the same Problem i had already flashed Samsung Official rom at the end But fails to write the Phone with official .bin for phone..its giving error at Exactly 50%..
Let me try Your method..Hope it works for me too..
Thanks in Advance
hi mate
I have tried Your method of only flashing the Phone.bin (as per attached Pic)
I think there is some serious problem with the flashing part or the tool ...
may be the new version of Multi Downloader has any option to revive the Phone ..
Currently My phone has NO Network.
Can You help me...
Try some solutions:
1. download with phone part from (link I provided before).
2. There can be another trouble with CDMA drivers or USB. XP http://uk.samsungmobile.com/pmgmvst.do?visitgbn=10970107&coflag=0 Vista http://uk.samsungmobile.com/pmgmvst.do?visitgbn=10970109&coflag=0
Reinstall drivers. Connect USB to rear of PC not front. retry
3. download full upgrade (including upgadetool) XP http://uk.samsungmobile.com/pmgmvst.do?visitgbn=10970112&coflag=0 Vista http://uk.samsungmobile.com/pmgmvst.do?visitgbn=10970111&coflag=0
4. If doesnt help- try to flash on another PC with XP or Win7(use XP drivers).
Heineken78,
thanks for your help. I made the same mistake - flashed the phone part - and had a bit of trouble finding out how the solve the problem. Your solution is very easy to implement and very effective.
Thanks a lot!
