Help!! - Can't Upgrade anything on my Diamond

Hello to anyone who can help me...
i am posting this thread after searching this forum for answers to my problem, and i could not find the answers...
I have the Diamond (DIAM100) with Original SPL 1.37.000 and GER Stock Rom installed.
My Upgrade goal is HardSPL 1.38 Signed (Olinex) / DiamondProject V2 GER / radio .05
I try to upgrade SPL, Radio and Rom according to several guides in this forum, but nothing seems to work for me.
I tried using the RUU Program with HardSPL, tried Diamond CustomRUU, tried manual Bootloader access, everytime the Upgrade Software stays at 0% (on the phone also) and after about 5 minutes i get ERROR [262].
Luckily, i haven't bricked my diamond yet, it always came back to life again.
i can confirm, that the device enters bootloader mode, then changes to grey screen with progress bar. But that is all.
Maybe it is a Vista issue, maybe not.
But all i get is ERROR [262]: Update Error
Suggestions, anyone?
Thanks in advance for any serious help...

... Running Vista Ultimate 32bit, but not sure if that will make a difference...
I will try to get hands on XP computer tonite....

You can always try running the RUU update utility in WinXP32 compat mode.

What Hard SPL ar eyou using???.... usually the problem...
you will need Developer edition if the ROM is not signed.

developer edition worked for me on Vista 32. Thanks guys!

OK
I ran a Hard-SPL (from the dev thread) Diamond-OliNex
This completed and did whatever it did and i had to do the basic setup on the phone again.
I have now got the radio ending .06 from this thread this thread and cant get it to work with the OilNex Hard SPL or the 1.34 listed in that thread.
I'm back to square one where Error 262 Update error is occuring.
I'm tring to flash the radio as the O/S i have appears to be running sweet but its having web issues that appear to be DNS/Connection related.
This needs an idiots guide like the other phones have .... 'coz i'm an idiot and I can't do it.

Yeah, but for me the problem still is to get ANY HardSPL on the Diamond in the first place.
I was trying to put HardSPL 1.38_Signed to the phone...
Adwinp: thanks for the advice, but did not work either...
As far as i can tell, this may be a problem with the USB driver from the Windows mobility center software...
I will try on real XP and give you feedback tomorrow.
thanks guys.

The developer edition i.e. unsigned worked for me.
I am currently going through the stages in the wiki VERY closely. Dont know if they will work :/

I had the exact same problems. I tried every possible combination of Hard SPL and ROMs. Here is what worked for me in the end (no problems since):
1. install newest .Net 3.5 on windows PC (don't know if this has anything to do with my problems but after installing everything started working fine)
2. install Unsigned HardSPL (developer edition): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
3. install chosen ROM / Radio ROM with RUU (Rom Updater Utility): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396073
After flashing a ROM the device makes a hard reset so you should backup your data first! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
good luck!

Finally it worked, also thanks to all who replied in this thread.
So i like to share my experience in this:
1. first i downloaded all SPL and Radio i could find, then i looked for GER language Rom. Quickly decided for DPT V2.
2. First attempt to flash failed completely on a Vista PC (32 Bit Ultimate)
3. Back home, moved all the downloaded files to my XP SP2 PC..
4. Noticed: DiamondCustomRUU would not start in XP, got error message saying "... could not be initialized", so i tried the standard RUU instead, with the shortcut of manually putting the PDA into Bootloader mode...
5. Sucessfully flashed HardSPL 1.38 on the Diamond, and the device rebooted with Hard reset.
6. Next i tried to upgrade Radio to .05 Version... Failed, stuck a 0%
7. Changed SPL to 1.40 (Unsigned), now the Radio could be flashed. Seems that Radio Files are Unsigned?
8. Flashed DPT V2. Success.
But still wondered about the unsigned Radio file...
Again, thank you all

How to verify Hard-SPL is installed?

Hi everyone,
I recently SIM-unlocked my phone with Olipro's unlocker (from http://diamond.htc-unlocks.com/) and whilst I went through the three steps to:
- install Hard-SPL (which seemed to run/install something on the device - it certainly went through the motions),
- install a specially-patched radio
- perform the SIM unlock
This all worked fine but when I reset with the volume-down button I get the following info on the tri-colour screen:
Code:
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.35.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
Serial
From what I can gather it ought to to say Olipro (Olinex?) somewhere but mine doesn't... does that mean Hard-SPL did not get installed?
Mathew

Try to download an flash Hard-spl 1.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705
After that check if the spl version has change to 1.4...

Thanks Söderström. Is the fact that it is 'unsigned' an issue? I'm getting well confused with all this (my fault I'm sure) - perhaps I should adopt the approach of 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'?
Having gone looking for a signed v1.40 I found what appears to be the (one of several?) official Hard-SPL thread however the first post discuss v1.37 and v1.93 yet the version of the two attachments are v1.38 and not mentioned! Later on in the thread it appears that the 'attachment with no version mentioned' is actually v1.40...
The post also states that this procedure will hard-reset my phone - is this true? If so, I think I'm better of leaving well alone... I assume that I only need Hard-SPL should I update the ROM in which case a hard-reset will not be an issue in those circumstances.
[Edit: Reading the thread properly I think I've now sussed that the unversioned attachment is indeed v1.40 and that v1.93 does not feature at all. That clarifies that a little, but what about the hard-reseting? The unlocking process, which (supposedly) included installing Hard-SPL, didn't require a hard-reset - why should this?]
Mathew

Try the attached file. (Sorry for not posting link to the original page. Was bored to find it!!)
And Hard spl will NOT reset your device.

Unsigned is better than signed becuase signed the team behind Hard-spl must verify the rom.. Use Unsigned and read the theard carefully before flashing.....
You can backup all your contacts, call history, message... with pimbackup (free)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705

Thank you both. What I think I'll do is wait until I update the ROM - I've come to the conclusion that I don't need Hard-SPL right now and so if I wait until I do update the ROM it won't matter if it hard-resets or not. To be honest I'm sure I'd be staying quite 'mainstream' hence I imagine they'd be signed anyway.
It's still very confusing - OliNex's post could not be more clear in stating that INSTALLING THIS WILL HARD-RESET THE DEVICE (this is stated separately and in addition to the hard-reset warning using the SSPLManual method).
Thanks again for your time - much appreciated.
Mathew

stuck in the process

I have to flash my girlfriends diamond that she got second hand and happens to be a French device.
it is locked with pass and the shop owner doesn’t remember the pass. Willing to take back the device my girlfriend wants to keep it if possible.
Since it has a PW that I don’t know I only can put it in 3 color screen manually and then go on.
Doing so I get this 3 color info page:
DIAM100 64M
SPL-1.93.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC- Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
I thought I should HARD SPL but freezes on 0%
I read about that issue
tried actually every single SPL in the forum signed and unsigned but it still freezes always at 0%
[UPDATE] I also tried flashing the following ROMs so far:
Eto.X 1.3 WWE
RUU_Diamond_HTC_GER_1.93.407.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
[2nd UPDATE]
I have the device now rested manually (factoryy default )since Vicai was kind enough to tell me how this works but still there no connection between pc and ppc.
this is kind of strange for me since my pc recognizes my touch pro without problems.
[3rd UPDATE]
now it the diamond is listed finaly in windows explorer but still any attempt to do a ROM update or HRD SPL gets STUCK at 0%
[4th UPDATE]
I tried flashing RUU_Diamond_HTC_FRA_1.93.406.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
same thing happens now again stuck at 0%
now I am kind a running out of ideas and would appreciate a little help,..
thx,
s.

dissapointment
I am realy trying to get some help here.
would somebody help me out?
do I do something wrong or am I looking for advice at the wrong place?
s.

well, actually i think there are alot of helpfull ppl round here, but they can't come up with a good solution for your problem. I personally have no clue why you can't run hardSPL.
What i do know is that since the device is not hardSPL'ed it is not possible to flash any rom (even official ones) in another language than the one it came with (French).
What you could try however is flashing an official French ROM, you can download it from here, (look for wiki pages for diamond) or from the official HTC site, and then try to run hardSPL again.
Good luck and i hope things gonna work out for ya.

hi max,
firstly you need to update hardspl, some would say you should use olinex 1.39 for myself i found 1.40 .. so i guess it makes no diference. after that you are free to go with brick.... errr .. flashing your phone

Yea, I think i Did the HardSpl 1.40 but it shows 1.30 olinex on the tricolor boot loader screen...
And i cant flash any ROM...Dont know why?
Signed or unsigned problem?
how can i b sure i have hardspl 1.40 olinex.....

[Q] ROM Update stays at 0% - help needed

Dear All,
this time, I have a problem and need your help, please.
I just bought a new (used, but not by me ) HTC Touch Diamond. Hard-SPL (1.37 from whoever) was installed.
First MTTY'ed the device - with success (set 14 0, task 29, task 8)
Wanted to install OliNex 1.40 first
Started ROM-Update, everything went fine, screen of Diamond changed into "bar display" - but stays there with 0%
Tried several flashes (OliNex, ROM, Radio - everything the same)
Does anybody have a hint for me what to do? Identifier seems ok, DIAM100 is shown in intial bootloader screen (three color-screen)
I appreciate any hint.
With kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph

Radio
Downgrade your radio to one below 1.02.XXX before flashing the unlocked radio
Full instructions to unlock your diamond are here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749201
Once you have done this, you can flash any ROM you like

Dear Dave,
thank you very much for your support.
Unfortunately it didn't help but showed everytime the same picture - stuck in the bar at 0% and doesn't do anything.
I tried STEP 1, STEP 2 and downgrading to radio 1.00.25.05 (but actually I don't know which is actually installed, as the Diamond never reaches the Touch Diamond page with ROM & HW Info, it stucks in the Touch Diamond page with no information at all, if started not in Bootloader mode)
It seems to me that the bootloader itself could be corrupted or the model number (shows DIAM100 in Bootloader) is somewhat corrupted, as I know that the internal storage consists of more digits (like DIAM10000 or so) - and a way to fix it with MTTY? But I can't find a description of the MTTY tasks of the Diamond.
Any more Idea?
Thank you Dave, and all the others who read and think, in advance.

Can you get into Bootloader mode by holding down
Volume down button + Back button (Bottom right button) + Press reset with the pen
Then keep pressed the first two buttons and let go of reset, keep hold of the first two buttons until it reaches the bootloader mode
If you can do this, then reboot and put the radio onto the storage card (4GB one) and enter bootloader mode, then folllow instructions on that screen to flash the radio, and you can do the same for the rom
It sounds to me like maybe you have not managed to flash the HardSPL properly

Hi Dave!
Thanks for your quick reaction.
Yes, I can anter bootloader mode. But nothing more. Flash is not possible. Hard-SPL was the first thing I tried to flash but it also remained at 0%
How can I put files on the internal storage card from within bootloader mode? (Phone is not booting, ONLY bootloader mode is accessible...) I never encountered this before...
But I can reach the phone with MTTY.. can I access the storage card through this?

X
Have your tried different HardSPL versions ?
Im not sure what is wrong... if you are in Bootloader mode, and the USB drivers are installed and you have activesync running on the PC it should update no problem
I would make sure all the above is true, and attempt different HardSPLs
I think that is the issue as you wont be able to flash an unlocked radio or custom rom without HardSPL being flashed first
Here is another version you could try
http://selfmod.net/how-to-hard-spl-a-htc-diamond/
EDIT - And I dont know if there is a way to access the storage card from MTTY or bootloader, my guess is that you wont be able to
Also, this is a GSM Diamond right ? Not a CDMA ? (UK Networks are GSM)
CDMA flash is here
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-diam...ond_c-cdma-sspl-hardspl-package-here-now.html

Hi Dave!
Yes, it's GSM. Thanks for your help and the links provided - it didn't help.
I tried various Hard-SPLs: OliNex 1.20, 1.30, 1.37, 1.40 and 1.93 (developers)
Result - all the same: standstill at 0%
I've seen in MTTY that I have an "upload" menu item - but need there the start address and command line for Diamond plus to know what it is meant for, I will try to find out... and if there is some new know-how out of this, I will post it here, in order that future GENERATIONS may find it *laugh*
Dave? THANKS!
Kindest regards from Switzerland - Christoph

Ok, lol Another possible !
Maybe your friend flashed a Signed HardSPL which means you can only flash Signed radios and roms until you flash another unsigned HardSPL
If the Radio you are trying to downgrade to is unsigned that could explain the issue... try and find a Signed radio below version 1.02.XXX and try to flash that, then try to flash to another Unsigned HardSPL, if the radio flash goes ok.
------------
Update stops at 0%
Short answer: You're running the normal HardSPL and you're trying to flash an unsigned (not signed by olinex) ROM. You need the developer version which fixes the 0% issue. Link is at the bottom of this post. Read on to understand the difference between Standard/Developer Edition!
Long answer: First you need to understand that there are two definitions of "signed". HTC and the mobile operators sign ROMs so that the RUU flash utility allows them to be flashed. Usually this is what the word "signed" in the filename means.
Then there is another definition of signed: The developers of HardSPL introduced their own signing process. They want to ensure that people flashing cooked ROMs can rely on a certain quality standard. The normal version of HardSPL will only allow ROMs signed by OliNex to be flashed. If the ROM you are about to flash is signed, it will say so in the thread you got it from. If it isn't signed, you will need the developer version of HardSPL. That one will allow any ROM to be flashed. Get it at the bottom of this posting.
A note on this: The signing process by olinex makes sure that the ROM you're about to flash won't brick your device. It doesn't mean all other ROMs are necessarily evil.

This is the answer. I used to have the same problem because when I bought my diamond I thought everything runs the same as the TyTN but ...
So to cut this story short, almost 90% of the 0% bar situations are because U R not using signed roms. However if Ya want to then use the unsigned HardSPL.

Hi Dave & Nazgul,
it seems that my case belonst to the non-90%
Of course I tried all this, but I have THREE diamonds - two were branded by the Swiss Swisscom (this is, in fact, the same image as the German Vodafone branding), one was the original HTC version
I'm flashing Diamonds since two years though.
My fault this time was, that I THOUGHT, this new one were HardSPL'ed, but it wasn't - and formatted the device using MTTY without Hard-SPL.
After that I had the above mentioned situation.
NO Hard-SPL was flashable - as written above - also noth the unsigned developer 1.93 edition - it always remained at 0%
I managed in the meantime to flash the original Vodafone/Swisscom ROM. So I have back the device in the official configuration (HTC Swisscom 1.97 package http://www.swisscom-mobile.ch/scm/d...pa=0x0x147x18x0x0x0x0x0&odg=SoftwareAndManual)
But - this uses Radio 1.08.xxx and I would like to downgrade because I think, Dave's hint above to use a radio before 1.02.xxx would be worth a try.
BUT - I STILL can't flash anything. Neither ANY Hard-SPL nor any Radio version nor any ROM.
The bar remains at 0%
I tried to find the original (first edition) of the Swisscom ROM Package, which used the Radio 1.00.25.05 - and then to try Dave's proposed steps.. but I can't find it anymore - all you can find is the "latest" package...
So I would still appreciate any help to be able to flash. Ok, now at least, I have a usable phone... but... I wanted to use it (as the other two) for ROM development testing, so who wants to have a PHONE!?!?
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph

Here is your radios
Sorry for the short post, I have a really bad hangover lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956

Morn' Dave!
I tried them all - none of them was flashable... same 0%-bar.
I thought of having the V 1.00 complete official Swisscom-Pack and as part of it, the radio 1.00.25.05, which is included. Seems to me, that the c(complete) official ROM pack is flashable.
THEN I could re-try to flash Hard-SPL (with then installed radio below 1.02.xxx)
Hangover? What's this?

YEa that might work, it is almost certain the issue is the HARDSpl being either not flashed, or flashed with a signed version
Good luck !!
And the hangover is nearly gone... I cured yesterdays with more alcohol lol

Have you tried these UNSIGNED dev HARDspls ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950

Hi Dave - GOT IT, solved
The "secret" was to flash noit from withi boot loader but from within Win Mobile with ActiveSync/Windows Device Center connected.
Then say "Yes" when "enterbootloader.exe" was asked to be installed/invoked.
Then the Device rebooted, flashed Hrd-SPL 1.40 correctly - and everything else onwards went fine.
Thanks a lot for your assitance, Dave and others.
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph

Ah.. I thought you were already using the Activesync and CustomRUU to flash it with !
Yes, the ROMs and Radios can be flashed from the storage card, but the Hard SPL needs to be done from Activesync / CUstomRUU
Pleased you got it working anyway
