Dumping S620 rom, downgrade ?

Hello,
I really want to upgrate to WM6 as soon as possible. My phone operator offer me some services (emails, web, messenger) only if I use the prvided settings and applications.
If I upgrade to WM6 and things don't work, is going back to factory state as simple to flashing HTC WM5 + EXT ROM ?
Jean

I was wondering the same thing: I would like to upgrade to WM6, but not without having a backup of the WM5 rom supplied by the Wireless Network Operator.
I searched the forum on how to backup the rom, but was unable to find any usable information. Anybody would like to help us out?

you can't back it up in that way.
just download one of the wm5 roms posted here.

1. The original WM5 ROM for the s620 is available. It's out there online if you do a little searching. It used to be hosted here. I ran it on my Dash for months before going to WM6.
2. HTC is going to be releasing the WM6 update soon. This will be a MUCH better firmware than T-Mobile's. Also, if you wait for it, you won't have to worry about unlocking or anything.

p.s. Smartphones don't have an Extended ROM.

alright thanks guys, I'll just wait till the official HTC release, I also found the wm5 roms, so I should be all set.

I was able to find an unbranded rom (not sure if it the latest... which is the latest French version ?) but if smart phones doesn't contain ext rom, where are the customizations ?
My french phone operator is Ten Mobile. I think it will be tricky to find that particular rom.

wm5 rom...
Can someone email me a link or email me the original wm5 rom for the htc s620 and not the t-mobile dash version?
TIA

Safety back-up of my JAMin original WM5 ROM...

Hello Guys!
I have a JAMin G4 that a marketing company gave me for a daily survey.
It's software branded by WIND (an italian mobile provider). I'd really love to flash it with a WM6 ROM but I didnt do that because I'm afraid I won't be able to restore it as it was when they gave it to me.
So...
Is there a way to back-up my original WM5 rom, flash the WM6 and, when it will come the time to give back the Jamin to the owner, flash back my original WM5?
I've tried to find the answer with the "Search" but nothing came up...
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance,
Bodhi3

wiki to the rescue

Just to be 100% sure... I CANNOT make mistakes...
Can you CONFIRM that...
1) I can back-up my original ROM
2) Upgrade to a WM6 Modded ROM
3) When I will have to give my JAMin back... Restore my original (Backed-up) WM5
Thanks,
Bodhi3

if i wanted confimation i would ask in the prohpet forum
where owners of the same device as you are more likely to read your post
and give you the confimation you seek

Thank you very much Rudegar but...I've posted the same thread on the proper section (Prophet) and still no answer... You were the only kind user that gave me a reply... That's why I asked you again...
Btw, just for my own information... do you know if this procedure is possible and reliable on (any) other model?
Thanks for your kindness and patience...

Flash O2 XDA Diamond? To Remove Branded Rom?

Hi guys ... I will probably be getting a O2 XDA Diamond...
The O2 Diamond has a blue branded Touchflow Gui...
Will there be anyway to install the Original HTC software on it so i have the nice Black Menu?

yep you have to install a hardspl, either olipro's [which i think is unreleased] or the one made by the diamond project team.
then you can flash a new rom.
however, check your rom version in settings->system->device information
if it reads 1.34.831.1
it means you have a new spl that prevents you from flashing hardspl until the experts here create a work-around.
i hope this helps
Rory

On a related note, I was considering getting the O2 XDA Diamond but putting the black TouchFLO 3D on it. However, I've now decided to get a normal HTC Touch Diamond, because I'm lazy and I don't want to flash a new ROM for a number of reasons.

It was a related comment. I informed others of a decision I made, to avoid this problem - a decision which will save time and effort.

I dont think ill be getting the htc modell becaus i would have to pay much more...
Because of the o2 contract that i have in august i can re new the contract an will get a o2 xda for about 100 euro... so i think ill be sticking to this modell..
Please keep this thread up 2 date guys... Good work so far...

Well I´m pretty new to this. Im gonna get a XDA Diamond too within these weeks. But as mentioned the blue TouchFlow theme from O2 is really ugly in my opinion. So maybe someone can explain me how it is possible to change the ROM to get the original black theme from HTC.
What is necessary for that to work, what changes would that bring to my system (all programs lost?) and what dangers come along with that?
I appreciate your answers. Thanks.

c´mon guys, please give me some information on this.

Ok .
First of all you can take one of two options.
1) Hard SPL the device and flash a new ROM that someone has mirrored here.
Look here for Hard SPL ( Read carefully as not all Diamonds can be Hard SPl'd as yet)
HardSPL Here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395640
ROM is here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394985
Hard SPL your device as per the Instructions then run the ROM update that you would have downloaded above . Job Done.
2) Wait until someone removes the 3G Interface from a Diamond (HTC Maila) and then apply that cab to replace your blue one.
Hope this helps
If you read the very first thread in this forum then you would have had an idea on what you was asking.

Thank you very much for your answer. So just to get me right. If i need a german ROM, is there a chance, as far as the new ROM version (probably comming with the german xda) is HardSPL useable, to flash another german HTC ROM on to it (if someone is providing it)?
And the last question, do i loose all my installed or preinstalled apps on my device, such as TOMTOM when i flash a new (other) ROM?

If its an O2 ROM then as you have an O2 device you may not need to Hard SPL but not sure on that one.
As long as you Hard SPL the device then you will be able to flash any ROM that turns up on this forum on your device. Please read the post I pointed out to you, as one of the SPL's shipping on the Diamond will not work and you may brick your device
And the last question, do i loose all my installed or preinstalled apps on my device, such as TOMTOM when i flash a new (other) ROM?
When you flash a device it will set it back to a ROM only . EG all the apps etc you have installed will be gone. TomTom if available on the device ROM will be on it as well (Although I thought O2 pefered Copilot) . If not have a look around the Forums and find a suitable TomTom cab for the device.
Again if you spend some time reading some of the threads on here and within other devices you will start to understand more .

Ok guys so hold us up to date on this.... Im getting my O2 phone in 2 weeks and I think I wont like the blue TF3D.

Ok guys... so is there any new information on getting the branded colour touchflow 3d to the orignial black one? Someone here mentioned doing it without any hardspl stuff via a CAB file or something....
ANy news on this?
Thx Busta

Here in germany it's possible to renew your contract through several online shops. When doing so, you can get any device you want. You usually also get a better deal than renewing through O2. Try if this is possible in your country and get a HTC device!
The only advantage of getting an O2 device is, that you get a refurbished device sent to you in case of a waranty return and don't have to send it in for repair. (At least that's my experience with the hermes aka. XDA Trion I had)

Whats the point of getting a HTC Touch Diamond then? The "fun" begins with cooked ROM flashing and since the Touch Diamond seems to be more and more popular, some very nice ROMs will be out in the near future. Can't wait to see where this is going...

Flashing to another ROM with HArdsSPL wipes out all in your RAM and ROM memory. it over writes al registries.
Also TomTom. A back-up is not advisable as it will not run, or cause bigger problems.

Black TouchFlo 3D Cab
for all the guys, they would like to remove the blue ugly O2 TouchFlo 3D skin, without flashing the Diamond! ;-)

Default T-Mobile Germany Rom

Hello Guys!
Since my Vario IV is with its original ROM not as fast as it could be, I want to install another ROM.
But before I do that, I need the original T-Mobile Germany rom, so that I can install this again, if I have to send the phone back for some warranty-causes, or if I don't like the new modded Rom.
So, is the original one released yet or is there any way, how I can extract and maybe release it?
The other thing is that I don't really know which rom I should install then, since I'm quite new in the xda-business. There are so many roms out there. I'm basically looking for a factory HTC-rom, that hasn't installed much stuff from the start. It should just be faster and has the original htc manila interface, not the ugly T-Mobile one.
edit: And the new rom should be German.
I hope you guys can help me!
Thanks!

For further official T-Mobile downloads, can you tell me how I can get to this site, without having the link?

I found it.....
Problem is, I need the stock rom for the mda VARIO IV.
Do you have a link for this, too?

May be you'll find something helpfull. Or you can write to service support t-mobile and ask about ROM.

Wrong forum, this one is for the HTC Diamond, what you have is the HTC Raphael. You may have a look there.

thank you guys!

you also need original Boot-Loader from T-Mobile !!!

does anyone have a dump of the rogers french rom?

Hi all,
I am new here and I have been snooping around. This is a great forum.
anyway, So on tuesday I recieved my rogers HTC touch diamond with a 3 year term extension. The phone came in WIMO 6.1 FRENCH. I was a bit pissed because I'm pretty sure that I specifically asked for the english version. After reading another forum post, it seems another user ran into this issue with rogers. they don't seem to carry the phone in english.
I wanted to return the phone but then i stumbled upon xda developers and hard spl'ed the phone and loaded new roms on it. the thing runs pristine now. I am in love with this phone. I do want to keep it but I dont want my 3 year lock-in with my carrier.
So, I was wondering if anyone has a dump of the french version rogers rom for the diamond? this way i can revert it back to manufacturing defaults and return it within my 30 day trial window and then just buy one BNIB off ebay or someone off howard forums.
can anyone help me out here?

I also got a French ROM on my Rogers Diamond. They do have english versions as well though. If you do a search you will find a link to the english Rogers ROM.
My guess is that they would not check if the ROM was supposed to be french or english. They would just check that it is a stock ROM and spl.

Check this thread for the English version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455347
To restore back to orignal state,
1) Flash the OS ROM
2) Flash the original radio
3) Flash the original splash screen
4) Finally, use the Soft-SPL method to change the HardSPL to the original Rogers SPL
5) Return it

thanks for the reply. I hope you are right about them not checking.
the contents of the box have french documents. I hope that they dont clue in
well I guess I'll give that a go. I hope they they dont charge me the $200 policy for used or damaged returns. but if they do its worth not having to lock-in for 3 years.
