I downloaded right now the WWE version, but still working in my office, presumably until late night... :-((
So, please, who can quickly flash the new rom, share his/her first impressions with us!
(Especially: which OS it uses, what HTC-made utilities have been put in it, are there any new features comparing to the official HTC Asia-Dopod WM6 rom?, etc.)
Thanks!
I second this request. I'm quite decided to install Pdaviet Black&Blue 4.2, after my good experience with 4.0, but I'm curious to know about this, and these are localized too
I have a question :
if , after tried wm6 official HTC ROM , i decide to revert back to wm5 official Rom how can i do this ?
Why Htc haven't provided the wm5 ROM for going back if desired ?
It's pretty the same as WM5 but then WM6. After first boot it installs the same utils as it would in WM5 like TomTom, QuickGPS etc. (Also the ugly green dailer )
Windows Mobile 6 Professional 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
IPL 3.13.0001
SPL 3.13.0000
GSM 02.94.90
OS 3.13.0.0
that is terrible!!!!!
i hope tom finished his 4.2 version soon
Pretty much the same as the asia one but with Office 2007 and cleaner.
Its clean, stable, fast and once again CLEAN!! install what you like.
Im sticking to this, you also know its been tested better than the home cooked, hats off to the guys but I dont like junk.
i reinstall the touch 2.1 ( really i'm waiting b&b4.2 ) after ... 12 minutes.
So,its only localized ... and no extra software.
i prefer touch 2.1 or B&B 4.1
By
I think it´s more of the same stuff from HTC, no inovations, unlike the name of this company.
What i´m really curious to see is the new Rom from Tom.
Cheers
Whoa!! The time to fix for the GPS is much improved! I'll have to test it more tomorrow, but it could be as fast as the TyTN II now!! That is AWESOME!
I'm going to say I like the dopod version more. This one doesn't have Audio Manager or Voice Command installed. I don't see a "lock screen" feature on this either...
stable, memory drain 's gone: program memory still at 22mo after 12 hours. but the new rom has fewer memory for stockage: 20mo vs 51mo of Meschle's new rom.
this version has voicecommand. Lock screen is there, just goto the settings, today and enable the item
Its the same as any other base, vanilla rom.
Where is link for download
www.htc.com
Sign up to the club with your Serial Number and its in the updates section. Other places on this forum have posted links.
Im happy with it, I like its clean and fully tested so Im sticking to it. There may be a reason they havnt used th elatest rom like some other cooked ones. You have to remember,the people who make these roms know a hell of a lot more about them than we do.
Where to find new ROM
Hi guys,
I can't see any ROM upgrade on official HTC Europe website. I registered my device and created account in HTC Club. Now, after login I can't see ROM upgrade either in Phone software update nor in Other downloads. Could you check this out (or maybe ROM is in other section?).
Thanks

I can confirm a same situation.
Please somebodu help!!!
Maybe there was some serious bug in ROM and they removed it from website? I double checked it with Firefox and IE and still can't find any ROM upgrade...
Voice command?
Where is that? Do you mean Voice Speed Dial?

Could somebody please upload ROM to rapidshare or...

Is there a way back if you installed the WM6 rom ? I just want to know this before I try the new one.
J.
I have flashed my 8525 a few times in the past thanks to this forum, I settled on the Black X ROM some time ago and have been pretty happy since.
Today I decided to just check to see if AT&T ever actually released a WM6 ROM for the 8525 and discovered that they did.
First instinct is I want to give it a shot even though I am pretty confident I will not care for it and will find it overly bloated and sluggish. But I would still like to try it if for no other reason then to know I can get my phone back to an official ROM in case I need to give it back (its a work phone).
I don't see any stickys addressing this but I believe I have read in the past issues or things to be concerned with when going from one of the many cooked roms out to an official ROM, something about the bootloaders or something?
Before I get in over my head I would really like to get some ideas of what to look for and be aware of. Document and share what I currently run prior to attempting the upgrade in an effort to avoid any unneccessary problems.
Currently have the following:
Bootloader (I believe this is what you call this, the multi colored screen):
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.0lipro
OS:
WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
Black X
8/9/07
Radio 1.50.00.00
I am hoping to upgrade to the ROM released by AT&T labeled as:
RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship
Any insight or experience others can share that I should be aware of please let me know.
Thanks,
Dane
Hello Dane,
I did the AT&T update... Used it for a few days and went back to the cooked Roms. AT&T included a lot of stuff I'd never use...
If you change Roms a lot (like I do! ) then it is good to flash and run an official Rom before installing the latest and greatest.
Just download it and keep it handy...
I flashed the ATT Rom. Its actually pretty quick. If you do a soft reset while its customizing you can elimniate a lot of the bloat. THen go to the exgtended rom and install what you want to install and delete the rest. I also found my call quality is better with the new radio...

Go with vp3g's latest rom. It's the official rom without all the bloat. There's a version I posted to include the setacousticparam so that the earpiece volume is louder..
Just received my New Diamond 2 hours ago from China. The ROM is 1.35.707.3 WWE dated May 28, 2008, Protocol 52.26.25.09H, and the Radio is 0.93.25.NS26.
Is this ROM newer that the ones available in the forum?
I tried to run MIOMap3 and TeleType GPS on it but didn't work. So I'm thinking of reflashing it with ROM WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03.
Or should I keep it?
Is fo then why MIOMAP does'n work?
Teletype will not run on the diamond no matter what rom you use. Can't answer to MioMap as I don't use it but I understand that it is the same as iGO8 which will not run on the diamond. TomTom 6 or 7 and Garmin XT work.
Your OS is a newer build but your radio is older.

Thanks for your swift reply.
I read in some forums that Destinatior works fine as well as Garmin.
The problem is that only IGO/Miomap and Teletype are only S/W that have a detailed map for Egypt (where I live).
On the ROM side, do you suggest that I upgrade the Radio?
Thanks again
You have an 1.35 version, so its older then the 1.37 version. So upgrade everything. The 1.35 stock i got was very bad.
Sorry I didn't notice it

Thanks for the hint.
Somehow I only looked at the "707" and compared it to the "405" ... maybe because it's almot 3:00 am my time.
I'll go to bed and do the flashing tomorrow. Thanks again

Hi,
I am in the same situation here.
I received same device with same firmware from China, just yesterday !
Have you managed to upload the new firmware ? (1.37.xxx)
I would be very interested in too.......
Please have a look at the forum, everything you need is there.

Do you think they implemented any hardware improvements in the new stock?
I have the option right now of buying a Touch Diamond with the 1.35.707 ROM. Should I wait for new stock with the 1.37.405 ROM?

No they havent and they wont. The only Diamond that will be different to the Asian/UK/European models will be the American version which will support a few missing bands that the current Diamond does not have. Those missing bands are barring American customers from using 3G.

So I shouldn't worry about buying a Touch Diamond with the 1.35.707 ROM? ... and I can easily upgrade it to 1.37.405?

Hey guys.. im looking to flash ROM or upgrade Radio
Cant seem to find a very new ROM (if that makes sense)
HTC Diamond From Vodafone
Current ROM 1.93.405.1 WWE
Current Radio 1.00.25.05
Fone runs ok as it is, but im lacking Storage and Program memory (not internal 4g) So im looking for a lite ROM or a better built rom than im using, Also has anyone built a ROM with a vista theme built in ? that would be nice
Any help would be appreciated
Kris
look at lite roms
thats the best bet for you....if you want more space.
good luck and welcome to the forums.
before you flash please read flashing info for the rom you choose
i don't want to see you next post being "help...i have bricked my phone"
ps......HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thanx IV flashed 1 ROM before but not an unofficial one.. was looking at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462455
Might try that first for a few days then look into a Lite version..
Happy New Year to you too mate
There are plenty Lite ROM's out there. None of them will give you more storage memory when flashing the radio part. Bit of a useless thread. Do some reading. XDA has a wonderful WiKi
We're all nervous due to the new year coming up. It's no shame liamhere... *LOL*
Now where did that previous message go.....
hi guys
as you can see im a total noob to the forums and to updating ROMs on the diamond
my htc diamond is running rom version
version: 1.37.707.1 WWE
date: 06/10/08
radio version: 1.00.25.03
protocol version: 52.26a.25.09H
i find that phone lags a bit and slows down especially when im unlocking with my password.
it also lags a bit when im activating the keyboard to write a sms..
so i guess i was hoping somebody could guide me in the right direction to get the latest rom update, and how do i do it.
i can see there are some custom roms around...so i have no idea whats the best way to proceed..
ive tried to download the latest rom update from the HTC site but it says that my device is not supported?
i dunno, cause i entered in the serial number located under the battery...
so im hoping somebody here can help me out..
thanks!
subs.
More info...
What's your diamond model number? It's under the battery.
You should look into HardSPL and then check out the official ROM's and Cooked ROM's and make a decision on which one you want to flash your phone with. Read the forum's and how-to's for more info...but first you should work out what version of the diamond you have before you go looking for ROM's...also, always HardSPL before you flash!
Good luck.
under the battery it says
HTC P3700 DIAM100
is that what you are referring to?
hi you really need to read this first and then read it again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 or you could brick your phone

yeah, ive been reading that and im slowly starting to understand what i have to do...
i would like to do this rom update on my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423418
so from what i understand i first have to install a unsigned hardspl, any recommendations on which version i should use?
1.23
1.24 or
1.34 ?
i was going to use 1.24 only because i saw somebody post saying they used it and had no problems, but if i should use one of the other ones because it will work better then please let me know.
after doing the hardspl install i was going to backup all my contacts and then do the rom update.
am i missing any steps?
do i have to do a radio update before a rom update?
I use HardSPL 1.40 and had no problems so far so I havent updated it to 1.93.
I would recommend one of the new roms 2.03 (official or cooked, it depends on what you'd like ).

Install hardspl 1.40 or 1.93 (I use 1.93, but didn't have problems in the short time I used 1.40) hardspl and then install any rom you like. Just try to read as much as you can because chances are, any question you have, someone else has had it and it's on the board for you to read.
ok cool, i will install hardspl 1.40 and then that rom i mentioned
at the moment i dont have any questions, i will follow that thread that explains how to update roms and hope for the best
1 last question, i did do a search but didnt really find any definite answers...
if i brick my phone *touch wood i dont*
will it be difficult to unbrick it?

if you brick your phone, the only option left is to claim warranty.
And i believe the only step that could possibly brick your phone is flashing HardSPL, right guys?
I was in the same state of anxiety when I did my first ROM flashing. Thankfully it all went smoothly.
My 2 cents :
1, Think about what you are gaining by a ROM upgrade. If your phone is working well out of the box and your routine functions are satisfied, you are well off with you stock ROM. I flashed a couple of ROMs and now I am with my stock and I am perfectly fine.
2, Read this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 and this -> http://www.modmydiamond.info/ And if you understand every single letter of it only proceed.
Happy flashing
i have a diam100. can i flash it to a WWE dutty rom?
thanks for all the help guys, but i decided to flash my htc with the original rom from the htc site.
for the moment it runs like a dream and has fixed all my lag issues.
so im gonna stick with that....for the moment
It's important that you feel comfortable crossing over......but I have to say, when you decide to cross, it's an exhilarating feeling to know that you can select what ever Rom from, what I think are, top notch chiefs here but also the fun continues by selecting which ever Radio.
Many post on here that say, "I bricked my phone," truly didn't brick anything. They just hit a wall so they panic. Hard SPL really does a good job. So the chances of your bricking this device is not as high as some people think..
