One question concerning the Oficiall-ROM flash. - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Sorry for asking, especially when there is high probably an answer somewhere here already... however I've been searching but couldn't find the information I need...
I have an German o2 Diamond with:
ROM 1.37.207.2 GER
Radio: 1.00.25.03
SPL 1.37.0000 (DIAM300)
And I want to install the latest official HTC english version ROM with radio, suitable for the central Europe region. What would you suggest?
RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship?
And my question: is it necessary to install any SPL (HardSPL) primarily in this particular case? (When replacing an oficiall ROM with some other only?)
If yes, what a version of HardSPL should I use then?
Can you help me? Many thanks in advance!
Best regards, Marek.

ROM choice is OK.
Since you are going from GER to WWE I think HardSPL is needed. You could try first without HardSPL of course.
I would recommend the 1.24mfg, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621.
If that gives any problems use the one in my signature.

Is there really no one who has/had the same problem/question?
(It seems to me it's a kind of quite fundamental question!)
Or... is it safe just to 'try' to install another oficiall (e.g. WWE in my case) ROM without any HardSPL?
(I guess I am not a freak but rather a careful user ;-)
May I get also some more info about the SPL versions? Is it necessary/recommended to have e.g. the 'same' version of SPL and ROM?
Thanks for any reply!

How to flash SPL 2.03

Howd'y just got a new Jasjam Spl is 2.03 how do I go about flashing my rom as the RUU doesn't have my SPl in it ??? Basically I want to updat to CRC's latest
Do some more homework first dude, you dont wanna end up with a paperweight......ALWAYS make sure you have flashed HardSPL before you do ANYTHING.
Take a peek here about what to do: Flashing HardSPL. Then flash away with any ROM you please.
Done a lot of lookin but everything I look at doesn't state anything about the 2.03 version all I want to do is U/grade to CRC's Cooked version, is there a how to incl 2.03 ???? I can't find one

seriously....you DO NOT need/want to be using SPL 2.03....you are increasing the risk of bricking your device...flash hardspl 2.10 to your device then just flash CRCs rom using the utility included with it.
Follow the guide i posted earlier to make your device safe to flash then look in CRCs thread for the files you need to run the ROM.
Bongo333, listen to MrVanx.... You asked the question and he's giving you his expert opinion... Listen to his experience cos god knows his guides have helped me out a lot of times...We don't wanna be answering questions tomorrow about how to unbrick your hermes. Its easier if you listen to experience and have a good time upgading your hermes as we won't knowingly steer you wrong..
Cheers
Do you know how I can get back to SPL 2.03? as I'm having troubles with my Jasjam, and it's not related to various ROMs etc. and I want to take it back to Telstra, but I know that if it has my current SPL version (SPL-1.10Oli) it will be rejected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've gone through that, but that only gets you to SPL 1.06, which (I'm not sure really) is an older version which wouldn't be recognised by Telstra as genuine?
Thats fine thats a retail one.
You can go to 1.04

Where did you get this ROM respectively why can I not download it at the HTC e-Club? Registered my phone and have a german HTC device
i have HTC Diamond von O2 , is it possible to update my xda with this Firmware? if yes how?
i have hardspl unsigned 1.40 i can use the european firmware but not this german, what i have to do ?
many thanks
This firmware is running on my Diamond since i bought it 1,5 weeks ago...
bought it 27th of june German HTC Diamond
runs fine for me...
Loko
i have a branded htc diamond of o2 i want to use this firmware without branding , i have to change something did someone do it successfully? how? i've done the hardspl 1.40 unsigned but it will not accept this firmware what i have to do else?
i can play the european htc firmware wwe but how can play this firmware to my htc
Sers,
I got an O2 branded device too, the problem with some roms is that they're containing SPL. So in this case the RUU tryes to flash the new SPL which is impossible because of the write protection of hard-SPL.
So you could extract the SPL from the .nbh which comes with this packet or you have to flash any rom which doesn't contain a SPL.
regards
What exactly is a (Hard)SPL? I din't got it fully.

i wannt to install but the program tells me "ungültige Verkäufer-ID" (invalid vender-ID)
what do i have do to before installing?
Hey guys,
there are two ways to flash this rom if u got hard spl on your device.
1. should be the better one for u if u dont't really know what hard spl developer edition means:
flash back your device to stock spl 1.37 an then you will be able to flash stock images
2. use any diamond or kaiser kitchen to extract spl from nbh.
if you don't know how, please don't ask in a millions of threads about it - just search and read

guys thanks for all the help
i now have this working despite being sure that the proxy was unchecked in the t-mobile settings.. this was not the case amongst the numerous hard resets the settings must have auto-populated
removing this has solved the problems.
my sync issues are fixed and am connecting through to hotmail and gmail too
i think i can now call my first mobile flashing a success
the benefits over the 1.34 ROM are clear and this 1.37 ROM is how the phone should operate. I will wait for the guides before looking into flashing the radio which i think will deliver more benefits
once again thanks to all
glad to hear of your success.

As I know - Diamond140 - this 2G Diamond (only EDGE, no HSDPA).This Diamonds HTC sells in India. I don't know - only software (but I think yes) or soft and hardware difference
IF I'm not mistaken (correct me if I'm wrong):
Try installing HardSPL, flash with a regular 3G rom.
IF it's the same hardware, it should at least connect you via edge.
If not, you won't get any network coverage.

Do a hard reset and it should be written on the boot screen if it's a diam100, 140 or 300.

tutorial/description/info/guide

Hi everyone!
Here's the deal! I'm no noob to flashing, cooking and HardSPL as I'm positive there are plenty of users who are swimming in the same pool.
Moving from another device's forum (Trinity) to the Diamond forum is quite a shock. So many posts, so many threads.
There are so many HardSPLs. OK, no problem! But what I DO miss is a tutorial thread with nice and clear descriptions stating for instance "You will need this HardSPL for this ROM", ""You will need this HardSPL for Official ROM", "You don't need any HardSPL for Official ROM", etc.
For instance:
I'm running an old version of Radio and Official Diamond ROM (Stock), 1.00.25.03 Radio and 1.37.479.3 WWE ROM.
Bootloader version is:
Code:
DIAM100 64M
SPL-1.37.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
I'd like to first upgrade to another Official ROM, like RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1.
No info on following:
- changing an original to another original ROM: is there need for HardSPL?
- changing a supposed EU original to an Asia original ROM: is there need for HardSPL?
- if there is need for it when upgradin ROM, which one to choose based on bootloader info?
- if there is need for it when upgradin Radio, which one to choose based on bootloader info?
etc.
I can live with my new device with stock ROM, I can tweak it, no problem.
But it is my strong belief that a detailed tutorial/description/info/guide thread could get a nice sticky.
Something that would make new users like:
"Oh, I just bought a Diamond, I read this sticky, compared my bootloader info with the ones stated in the thread, checked my ROM and Radio, checked my new ROM and Radio which I want to flash, so I need this/I don't need any HardSPL and it worked"
Yes, call it spoon-feeding, but while looking at the Forums and reading and searching, there's so much clutter some can't even find the Search button!
My two cents!
I totally agree !!! We are needing that "tutorial for dummies"
Im new to the Diamond forum too, had a tytn for ages though.
I found everything i needed to know on the wiki

Yes, but still, is there any need for HardSPL when flashing to another Official HTC ROM? And is there any need for HardSPL when flashing to another issuer of the Official HTC ROM (from EU to Asia HK)?

You don't need HardSPL to flash an official ROM. If you want to be really sure then simply go to the HTC site (I used HTC Europe), register as a user, input your phone's serial number and it should tell you that you can download the 1.93 ROM. This way you can do a 100% official upgrade before deciding if you want to use a cooked ROM.

You need hardspl on every one, and all are offcial roms as they were downloaded
only the rom you can download from your own HTC e-club site dont need hardspl.

Contradictory information?
Now since I don't have any updates in my own e-Club, there's the HardSPL option with other (even Official) ROMs.
Question is: which one? (1.23, 1.24, 1.34, Developer edition, Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex, HardSPL_OliNex138_Signed or RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition).
This is crazy!
Maybe that's the difference then - perhaps ROM downloads via the e-club are treated differently, although I can't think how.
Seems that Cmonex and Olipro are the SPL experts here (I'm sure you've already seen this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402) so maybe they're the best ones to help.
If it helps I updated to HardSLP 1.4 and ran quite happily on my stock ROM before upgrading to Dutty's ROM. I guess it's down to how adventurous/risky you want to be.
Good luck.
1. look at the next posts, i blew it on this answer..
i like my diamond with hardspl and unlocked (using the developers, unsigned hardspl). i advice you to do the same. this covers all, signed, unsigned and official ROMs.
here, an answer from THE expert:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2484533&postcount=143
2. if i convinced you to hardspl then go to the unsigned version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950.
i am using it from the beginning (2 month at least) and i flashed my diamond 4 times without any problem at all.

There are so many HardSPLs. OK, no problem! But what I DO miss is a tutorial thread with nice and clear descriptions stating for instance "You will need this HardSPL for this ROM", ""You will need this HardSPL for Official ROM", "You don't need any HardSPL for Official ROM", etc.

already there, in almost each ROM thread.
i think all cooks start their thread with the warning (hardspl first!) and a link to the recommended hardspl.
bepe is "all signed" so he never mention which hardspl.

i wonder what happened to you.... learn from post #3!! you are a ROM cook...you are the "uber" user! we should ask you questions
I know you say if you flash an official (uncooked) ROM to your handset then you don't need SPL however I have a Vodafone branded Diamond which won't allow you to flash a non Vodafone branded ROM so I am ssuming that you still need to use SPL to go to an unbranded ROM even if it is generic HTC.

i think you are right. never thought at this scenario.....
usually i don't buy my pda branded. no plan, no 3 years, free as a bird!
thanks for bringing it to my attention.
yeah, hard-spl to allow you to flash ROMs from other regions..
technically you shouldn't need it to 'protect' your device since its an official ROM upgrade, but then again you're trying to flash an upgrade that's not from your region so not too sure how that affects your warranty.. i would stick with hard-spl no matter what.
Although you may experience better results with certain ROMs using a certain SPL (this hasn't been clearly shown on the diamond to my knowledge) seems like the SPL is more tied to your hardware (why certain people get screen flicker and fuzzy fonts after flashing.. wrong SPL). so it stands to reason if your hardware doesn't change, you *shouldn't* have to change your SPL just cause you're flashing a new ROM
KukurikU said:
1. you don't need hardspl when you want to flash an official ROM.
if you should need one then HTC should release it with the ROM. no such thing!
HTC release official ROM "like it is" for all ppl even for the ones that never heard of hardspl. simple logic.
if you buy it branded look at the next two posts!

I have experince now with 3 HTC devices: 1. i had Trinity with wwe rom when i bought it-> try to put it to my language (Finnish ROM) didnt work, used hardspl-> it worked
2. Polaris with wwe 6.0 rom, tried to update to the latest wm6.0 rom which was a rom from Singapore, no succes-> put hardspl in device->it worked
3. In my Diamond i put hardspl right away(after 2 hour use), so that one i didnt test at all, based on my previous experience I didnt even try to flash the official 1.93 rom witout hardspl
So at least my concution is that u must have hardspl even when you want to flash a official rom from another region. Dont offcourse no if that is a fact, just what i have experience
[/QUOTE]So at least my concution is that u must have hardspl even when you want to flash a official rom from another region. Dont offcourse no if that is a fact, just what i have experience[/QUOTE]
From my experience from the diamond, you have to flash hardspl onto your handset before you can use 'other region' roms even when it is 'official'.
I have a HK WWE handset and tried to flash my rom with the first upgrade rom from SEA, and it wouldnt flash. it would say my handset is not from the correct region.
i flashed a hard spl afterwards and it worked.
So from pak1234 experience we can make some conclusion? its the same experience I got with Polaris and Trinity

Hi,
As a total recent Noob (TRN), I spent about 2 working days trying to find out where to start. In particular, the definition of HardSPL, ROM and Radio.
It was very difficult to ramp up to speed. you guys rock, seriously, but your community can thrive if you lower the gate a bit. Think about all the time you'll save in the long run by giving noobs somewhere to start. 'There are no stupid questions, only arrogant responses'. -- I read that somewhere here.
For anyone who enjoys noob-razing, come visit me and I'll stick you in with my horses. Get some payback.
A Where-To-Start sticky would help enormously.
peace.
PS - Eventually I found www.modmydiamond.info and started reading. I nearly cried when my Swiss language-locked Diamond started talking in good auld English.

congrats on yr first successfull step (english language on yr swiss locked diamond)! perseverance and good reading skills pay back.
welcome to our forum!
from yr post i can understand that you started as an intelligent user/member of this forum (as opposed to noob) by using this forum accordingly with it's rules.
there are stupid questions. if one of the next is called by somebody "arrogant response" then he'll have to adjust or just grow elephant skin (i can name a few that already did):
1. "search, this was already posted". (most used)
2. "read the manual." (almost an insult)
3. "read wiki." (friendly, useful advice)
4. "most of the polls are useless." (no comment necessary)
5. "comparisons between any other ppc and diamond does not belong here, this a diamond only forum." (sadly not enough enforced)
a noob is not somebody with a low count of posts. a noob is somebody with a noobish attitude (total disregard of the forum's rules and it's members, wanting everything now, ready, chewed and put in his mouth).
respect the forum and it's members and you'll get respect and help beyond yr wildest dreams.
yr PS only confirm all from the above.
i prefer not to comment yr horses-payback threat
noob here
Hello all, noob here, just got my diamond via vodafone NL.
The device is sim locked contrary to what the agreement with was.
The current rom running on it makes this device incredibly slow, my brother has an p3300 which works way faster than my diamond (but does not look so nice).
This made me start looking for a solution. I've been reading this site for three full days and I'm still very confused, everything and it's contrary is written here, how is one supposed to draw a conclusion?
With that said I would like to see a well written tutorial in plain english and that does not assume the reader is a techie.
It should explain:
- How to backup the original ROM and hardSPL
- How to flash a new rom and avoid issues with screen flickering and so on
- How to restore the original ROM and hardSPL in case the device needs to be send back for repair
- Clarify what to do with radio roms
- How to unlock a device to be used with any sim card (ok this already exists, i've seen the sticky)
Thanks
One more question to be added
- Why would you need a CID and security unlocker?
I thought it was just another name for sim card lock but apparently not.

Thanks for the fast reply
Ahh, ok, if i want english thats the rom i should use right?
Do you know anything about the other questions? is there a better choise like a cooked ROM that have the basic tweeks allready done.
The only thing i want now is a fast windows mobile that has good battery time
I want to use the phone as a sip phone (wm6voip) seams to be the best way to go there
Strange
In this thread they say that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
Download OliNex Unsigned Hard-SPL (Developers Edition) from here;
is it not more safe with a signed version?
Is this true?
If i only want to use "Original Shipped ROM Versions" then signed Hard-SPL is the best
if i want to use "Cooked ROM versions" then i should NOT use signed Hard-SPL (due to Brick risk)
is Hard-SPL signed/unsigned used for flashing roms or does it effect signed app code or something in the OS?
Ping
Someone out there that have any more info on this
That have time and energy to explain
First of get the Unsigned Hard-SPL if you want to flash cooked roms (yes OliNex Unsigned Hard-SPL works). Secondly any WWE release will make your phone OS English, you'll even have to add Swedish keyboard layouts and t9 manually (cabs exists).
What rom/radio you want is a subjective preference but I can recommend CT's v. 6.4 HD. And if you don't want a HD rom try CT's original, udK's syrius or duttys newest rom.
As for radios, again it's a matter of preference but personally I didn't like 1.09.25.23 (battery drainage) so I recommend 1.08.25.20 or 1.00.25.05.
ok

Thanks alot for the info, this is relly helpful, sorry but a few more questions.
1. If i start with a ship orginal rom is "OliNex Unsigned Hard-SPL" a bad idea?
is there any brick risk if i have a Unsigned Hard-SPL and dont update the rom
ie. if i install stuff in the os and such, am i at risk or is the ONLY when flashing stuff with RUU?
2. Is this the keyboard layout that you mean. What is t9?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460872&highlight=swedish+keyboard+layout
Found that t9 = text on 9 keys
3. What is "HD rom" is it for dimond HD only, i have a diamond touch

4. if i take a ship orginal rom, does it overwrite HARD-SPL?
we have 3 comp. here radio, os , bootloader and as i understand if i try to update them one by one then i must have a unsigned HARD-spl
Radio v1.00.25.05 <-- seams to be best but is it safe to use that with the newest orginal rom and is there a special order i should flash it in
HARD-SPL is the only thing iam 100% that it goes first

1.
I'm not sure I understand that question but if you want to stick with the official htc roms there is no need to mess with SPL. Changing SPL will most likely void your warranty (you can change it back though if the phone isn't totally messed up). Installing software on the phone will not brick it regardless of SPL version, you can always hard reset if you mess anything up.
2.
Yes that's one of them. If you flash your diamond with a WWE rom you will want to install something like that to (more easily) write texts in Swedish.
3.
A HD rom has some of the touch HD's functions (such as stock tab) ported to diamond. So it's not for the touch HD and yes you can use it on your diamond
4.
Original roms that you get from htc's website will not, as far as I know, change your SPL. The radio/rom order doesn't matter though some roms have a specific radio embedded in them and will overwrite your previous radio. Yes you can use v1.00.25.05 with any rom.
So in conclusion change to a unsigned hard-SPL if you want to change radio or flash a unofficial rom. If not, just play around with different tweaks and skins and if you mess anything up your warrenty should cover it.
Peace
Info?
