hello,
i have a T-Mobile MDA Vario from germany and now i found this nice page and i also want to test something.
So my question is, what happens if i will flash the wrong rom or else ? in every document is written that the phone is destroyed. Is tht really true or can i flash an original rom back and then everything is ok ?
thanks for help.
an other question:
i updated the rom to the aku 3 from t-mobile. how can i flash it back to the old ? the original t-mobile software says the file is not the right i should use a newer. but i want the old rom.
bye

Hi, I recently got a HTC 4350 from a friend of mine, it was locked though so I got it unlocked (both sim and cim) and upgraded to WM6 (with a dutch vodafone rom gotten from this forum), only thing is, the GPRS settings seem to be pre-configured and there doesn't seem to be a way to change them.
I would like to use the WWE edition of the rom (from what I've learned so far that seems to be the "standard" version for HTC phones?) so that it really is fully "unlocked" but I am affraid if I attempt to use this I will break my phone.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get this done?
Also, is there an english version of this rom? (With WM6). Cause all I've managed to find were roms with other languages, basically anything but English.
Thanks a lot in advance
So, has anyone successfully unlocked, hard spl and flashed a new ROM into an O2 Ignito?
There's so little about the O2 ignito here, but i'm thinking to get one and try a wwe Rom on it.
Thanks all
some people have them

Ehh?
There's not much information relating to the "MDA Compact IV" either.

True true, but don't forget it's the same hardware anyway so all of the updating applies to all 3 versions of the phone.
I personally have the MDA Compact IV and have updated ROM/SPL/Radio fine, and my friend has the O2 XDA Ignito and has also updated all 3 of his so i can confirm its safe
The XDa Ignito comes unlocked as standard - you can use any SIM card in it. As for the rest - I put Olinex 1.40 on mine and then have flashed 3 different roms from here all fine
I'm going to put a new rom on my Ignito tonight hopefully.
First though I want a copy of the original O2 rom to put back on if necessary.
So far i've managed to dump the rom from the phone to my computer, but now just need to convert that all back into a ROM somehow.

same position here, i got the raw files and the spl but trying to find out how to build a rom with the raw files.
please update if youv managed to find anything
I also have the raw files but if I have no idea how to get these back into a normal flashable o2 rom! I am sure we will manage it if we need it for warranty purposes though if it comes to it
i think we need to start a new thread for this to get more attention, some of the advanced users will deffinitely be able to help.
its worth doing in my opinion
As has already been stated, there's loads of us XDA Ignito users on here. Within 2 days I'd flashed a new SPL and ROM onto my device. Would be nice to have the original o2 rom to roll back to if necessary but I'm perfectly happy with out it currently.
As far as I'm aware o2 are one of the few operators that don't lock their devices. Out of all the handsets I've had from them over the years I'm as yet to receive a sim locked one.
markquinton,
can you help us out with redeveloping the original o2 rom!
seems like you have some ccoking experience having a custom rom on your orbit! see my previuos post in this thread
I'm afraid I only built custom rom's from the base HTC one's made available for the Orbit originally when WM6.1 came out. I've never worked with raw files and wouldn't have the foggiest about how to get them back into a flashable state. Sorry!
hi all am hoping to get this thread going again as im having trouble geting Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex onto my ignito. did any of you guys have trouble?
Hard SPL on ignito
I managed to install the hard SPl onto my ignito, but have been unable to flash a new rom.
Think the pre-installed works well though, I just installed the original black theme as the blue o2 one is pants.
Radio upgrade has been fine.
Biggest recommendation I have is to install the VGA version of quick GPS. It REALLY made a difference to my satellite lock times from like 10 mins to about 10 secs
no problems with it works fine mine was on o2 software using latest dutty's now.
give it a go, loads faster now
Here is the link to the new MDA Compact IV Rom from T Mobile in NLD ver 1.93.1142.nld radio 1.0025.16
http://www.t-mobile.nl/persoonlijk/htdocs/page/service-contact/software-updates/mda.aspx
And STILL not available from T-Mobile UK!
What's the changes? Worth flashing? I use Tmobile but never did any of their roms, got an unbranded device...

seeing as you use a T-mobile MDA IV NL like I do, can you tell me what the original HardSPL is ?
I need to reflash mine so I can send it back for repairs (bluetooth not working properly anymore), I flashed the above mentioned rom using the quick method (copy to internal storage) so I now have an original T-mobile rom and radio but the HardSPL still is not original.
Technically it should not matter for warranty but I would rather not take any risks and also restore the HardSPL, I just have no idea which one it is (1.34, 1.35, 1.93 from the SPL thread here on xda ?)

Restoring your MDA IV back to tmobile defaults is a bit tricky. You beter use the new rom update, a new SPL should be in the ROM (in the Chech version it was). I used the Chech ROM to resore my tmobile picture and used SPL 1.37, ROM 1.37 and radio 1.00.25.03. All of these can be found in the forum.

Well,
I've used custom roms all the way from dutty's to leo's... LAst week i've flashed the new t-mobile rom. I must say it is very stable and with a few tweaks it is a very good rom.
I did this flash because always with a custom rom there was something i didn't like or didn't work. The feeling i have from this rom (I'm also on the t-mo network of course) is that this one must be tested with the best settings and the best radio for this network... because i need an stable phone.

so the Chech ROM also replaced your HardSPL, which you then replaced again with SPL 1.37 ?
(why replace the HardSPL again ?)
I guess I will round up a windows PC and reflash using the the rom update .exe and see if my HardSPL gets replaced.
(I kind of asumed the HardSPL never gets updated with a rom update, hence my confusion)
Shame there isnt a way to update the HardSPL without a windows PC
Should the HardSPL not get replaced by the update I can safely use the 1.37 version from xda ?
I am useing this rom at the moment and it is very good and very stable and very fast rom.
With other roms i had problems that my phone wouldn't wakeup anymore and needed to softreset it. With this rom so far i do not have the problem.
Ofcause i only use it for 2 days so far but i will let you know how it will be after a while. For the problem that the phone does not wakeup anymore with other roms i had that problem after 1 day already so i think the t-mobile diamond is differend then the real HTC diamond.
Only the t-mobile colors are terrible but there are enough themes and skins to change it to what you want.

Did your HardSPL get updated too when you updated your rom ?
If no which HardSPL do you have now (if it is the original that is) ?
I run 1.40 olinex, it says wrong device ID.
?
I have original DIamond, is that problem?
I made a new rom which will work on DIAMxxxxx (all) diamonds.
It's full 143mb (including SPL and RADIO, so Stock, only diam200 is removed).
IF interested I put online. Made with Olinex nbh thing,
same problem here

Same for me
This ROM will fix that. Please, use it if you NEED it to save my bandwidth
http://www.rielity.nl/RTC/RUU_signed.exe
(Its sfx-exe, no worries, not many people have 7z)

Sounds great. So this includes a stock signed spl?
It is 100% the same rom, and you will not get the Device_id error.
T-mobile service-desk WILL see this is not original T-mobile rom I think because ROM name is not the same (T-mobile instead of 1.93.blabal).
sms problem
Help, I flashed this new t-mobile ROM and now I an't send SMS. They stay in postvak uit. In tried flashing another radio and settings in comm manager. But nothing happends.
Try this, I had the same problem with several other roms.
Thank you very much. I tried it and after a softreset it is possible to send SMS now.
REmoved the rom.
It's really too slow
Sorry to bump this one, but does the t mobile NL rom update the SPL to stock?
Hello friendly people!
I got a sweet HTC Touch Diamond this x-mas.
However I want to flash it to MightyRom or Juicy.
The point is, my phone is Vodafone branded and all of you are talking about Telus, Sprint, etc.
I quote from the MightyROM topic:
"Compatibility List: TELUS, Bell, Sprint, Alltel"
Does this mean my phone could crash if I try unlocking and flashing it?
Also, how far can I go without loosing my warranty?
Thank you in advance
You should be asking this in those threads. I myself cant help you cuz im not sure.
Research And if your not sure and dont want to take a risk then DONT DO IT!!
If your comfortable with unlocking your phone and not sure about cooked ROMS. Id recommend installing the official 2.03 ROM that's if you don't have it already since you got if in Dec. But if you don't its a big improvement over the 1.93
As far as warranty. You would be Voiding it rite from the start by unlocking it.
but on the german vodafone-homepage i could only load the 1.97 version.
know somebody when the vodafone rom comes out. i also don't want to loose my warrenty.
could i install the orginal rom from htc??
i don't want to try something with changing the bootloader or so.
(btw: how bad is my english?? )
I just flashed my Vodafone branded HTC Touch Diamond to Duttys!
With great success.
For all the other Vodafone users:
HTC Touch Diamond (DIAM100)
Vodafone branded
Vodafone SIM
Phone bought in The Netherlands.
Software/methods used:
Unsigned HardSPL-1.40 OliNex
Custom RUU
Radio 1.00.25.05
Duttys 5.2.20764.1.4.3_V4_Full_MSVC [2.03]
I did all of this with success using this tutorial:

Enjoy flashing
P.S. Do not blame me if your phone, for some reason, does get bricked!
