Sorry,i imagine this has been asked many times before.I have seen mention of Hard spl's and other thing a ma jigs lol.

You really have a lot of reading to do. So much that we cannot post it all here. It has taken an entire forum for all of the information. You need to start here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Get familiar with what you can do. First thing you are going to want to do is update the boot loader so you don't brick your device. Read here for more information:

Do not "just install" ... ideally read the wiki first, and then follow instructions on Mrvanx's Guide. Upgrading is pretty painless and easy ... and the guide should keep you on track.
A ha ,i knew there would be more to it than that,not sure what a wiki is lol but looks like im gonna find out.
If someone could just give me a list of things to do before hand ill do the appropriate reading
i.e 1 upgrade the boot loader etc etc ,please dont go into detail a mere shopping list will do.
,thanks for the links by the way.
Best wishes tony

If you follow the advice in link #3 above you wont go wrong.
The site referred to gives you all the knowledge and confidence to do the job.
Trust me I learnt the same way, by reading threads.
good luck!

My subjective pick is Black 3.01 ...
Remember to go "Hard SPL" first, and that you need to upgrade your radio seperately.
Right just updated the Hard splv7 and my radio to 1.41.00.10,ive also flashed with black 3.0. Now i cant seem to get a wireless link to work or turn on my bluetooth?
Also does this mean i can flash any cooked rom?
Many thanks Tony
Update: it just needed a reboot and all was well.
Getting back to the above question-can i flash with any coocked rom now?
Thanks for all your help.Tony

generally speaking, yes.... but be sure you are flashing OS only (unless you want to upgrade your radio too). Most folks are putting out OS only upgrades now, but some replace the radio. once you are hard spl and no longer a flashing virgin, it becomes second nature.
Thanks for everyones help,all sorted,nice one!
Wow what a refreshing read. A noob explaining himself and asking clear questions and members helping him out in an open and non-judgemental way...
Well done everyone!
...and no flames...
Kudos go to MrVanx for those incredible guides.
Yep superb guides and a very noob friendly thread,thanks again peeps.Flashed to a couple of different roms today to check them out.

same here!
Read the Kaiser Wiki or the dutch ROM dump thread here in diamond forum for dumping instructions.
I could also extract my original (german) htc rom - but i do not know how. if someone can put me in the right direction, i will do this.
No one uploads his ROM
OK let's start with some hints
first read this:
push me
post #18 shows you the way, but read from the beginning to understand the dump procedure.
The tool don't work ?
read this (point 6)
Come on guys, lasst es uns wagen..
i could give it a try - but is it worth trying since i only have the rom version 1.37.00.00? i think there's a newer rom out there, isn't there?

I didn't post it twice. The Website had problems I think. Because I did lose connection to it while posting. After that it was down. Ok, ok, it was my fault, that it was down, because I posted it twice, right?

So it seems that YOU have to dump your rom However I did read that a higher number (1.37.407.2 > 1.37.00.00) does not inevitable imply a newer rom. Does someone know something about that?
Anyway I ask myself how it could be that the phone is out just a few days in germany and there are almost so much different rom versions?
Btw: Do you have an original HTC device or a branded one?

It's HTC Touch Diamond (original and unbranded) - I'll try to extract the ROM.
Thanks... Can't wait to have the black TouchFlo
Ok, now I have 4 RAW-Files. Can anybody please explain me the next steps to do?

NOT on topic or helpfull, better off NOT posting at all sir. We were all noobs once.
@djsky123, take some time to read through the threads in this forum and familiarise yourself with the ROMs currently alive....CRCs, PDAcorner and MRH seem to be the current ROMs in progress..
I think CRC's ROM is probably the best in existence...
I might have a little bit of bias though
Seriously though, have a read through what is included on the ROMs and see what fits your personal tastes...
Just make sure you flash your device with HardSPL first to prevent future tears...

Well, yeah... i took the plunge and did your 6.1 release 11.2 (hope you don't mind).
Seems good so far. - The wife's asking when my grandad died though.. took a bit of explaining why I had someone elses on my phone...
Thanks for welcoming me, and I'm sure i'll be on here over the coming months.

On the first few pages of this whole list there is a kitchen to make your own splash screen, or even some have posted stock screens that some people pulled out, enjoy xda, it's the coolest place for your hermes.

it really is. but a warning to you, READ AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!!! knowledge is power in this forum (it works as currency too)
Can I Just ask, now that i've flashed my hermes with a new rom, is it now un-locked so that I can insert sim cards from other networks in it? I was on orange UK but want to use an O2 sim in there at some point.
Cheers.

Dear Ian,
I cannot tell which ROM to flash because it depends on MANY things... Nevertheless i can tell you a few things thay will help you...
1. Read the Flashers BIBLE i.e. the WIKI.
2. Never, but NEVER mess or tamper with our PDA unless you are sure of what you'r doing BEFORE you do it. If your are not sure ask before.
3. Never pay attention to flames or stupid answers. You will get quite a few over here...
4. I was oncve a noob and i know how it feels to e stepingon muddy watters.
5. If you feel you get no positive answer to your questions, PM me at will and i will try to help.
Cheers, welcoe and good luck
no you need to run an unlocker not flash the radio you can get the unlocker for the hermes from here if its a g3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
first of all do Hardspl, this will unlock your device too.
remember - when you flash any official rom you automaticaly erase hardspl. suggest you to try some pdaviet roms, for noob they are very nice. but if you need stability - try pda corner e.t.c. by the way - Im using spv too

I did HardSPL, so it should be unlocked I guess.
One issue i've got with CRC's 6.1 rom is that when I get an answerphone message, it only comes through as a text message showing random characters. Can this be fixed somehow?

When you get to a ROM-specific issue, it is best to post in the specific thread for that ROM (helps keep the forums organized and helps you get an answer more quickly)

6.2 is oldd.. the newest version is 11.2, maybe you should try flashing that and seeing if it is fixed.
If it keeps on, try asking in the 11.2 thread.

greets
Complete steps A,B and C of this sticky
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
Furthermore the choice of rom is your personal taste.
Read the threads and install a few and you will get a feeling with the different roms.
Have fun and start enjoying your diamond for real!
come on, spend some time and read, together with search is really good...
it's not so difficult
i was already looking for it, which HARD spl do i need?
=S
Mmm...
I really doubt you will have a REAL answer...anyhow: GOOD LUCK!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, you was lucky...I'll give you the "secret" answer:
TRY YOURSELF ALL ROMS YOU FIND INTERESTING...THEN CHOOSE!!!

...why don't you read through the threads???
HardSLP: In ever ROM Announcment the cooker also mentions a few words about the HardSLP.
What does a rom do?
You can compare it with a complete new-installation an a pc.
Will this and that be removed?
For Sure, everything which is not on the internal storage will be erased!
And now: READ the threads!

Afternoon All
A little while back I puchased a Vodafone branded Touch Pro 2 from eBay, I have been using this with my O2 sim, all is well.
I would however like to upgrade to the 6.5 ROM, looking at HTC's website I can see a Vodafone ROM, which I can, and have downloaded. While looking at the ROMs I noticed there is an HTC unbranded ROM and a even newer ROM with the HTC Sense Interface, however because they know mine is a Vodafone handset I can't download these.
Anyone know how I can get hold of these?
Thanks
Tom

Thanks,
That provides the standard 6.5 unbadged version. Don't suppose anyone knows where you can get the Sense Interface ROM?
