O2 Cosmo (Excalibur) ROM Update - How the Hell ? - HTC Excalibur

Hello Experts,
i have read a lot of the Threads here, but i can't find a good information
about my O2 Cosmo. My Dash is Simlook free and SuperCID enabeld.
I found this instructions:
Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/-
the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu
Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen)
6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!) ==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again). In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear/not working for you. If you REALLY do it STEP by STEP exact like described you will have no problem.

When i edit the .NBH file, i get a "ERROR 270" message!
When i dont edit the .NBH file, i get a "Invalid Ventor - Error Message"
I try to install this ROM:
"RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe"
So my Dash is a German Device, and i want a German ROM, if it is possible!?
OK, i try to go manually in the Bootloader modus, disable ActiveSync for
USB Transfer...and run the RUU Rom...but it allways break down the flash
process at 4% !
...mmh...have i forget any info, that you can help me...i dont know?
Ah Yes...i read in the Thread:
"How to flash a new ROM to your Wizard... a little tutorial!"
Here the link to:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
But i can see anything on the starting screen, if my dash ist a G3 or G4,
on my start screen ist "ABSOLUTLY - NO - Information" about it!
In the "System Information" i found a RIL Nr. 2.0002 ...
So i think my dash is a IPL/SPL G3...but i dont know it really!
I dont know what i can do anymore, to update my device to WM6.0 or 6.1
Plz, if anyone know what i can do, to fix my problem, plz then tell it to me,
thank you very much, and forgive me about my bad english!

Ok, i test many times this tool "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS" ...and yesterday
it works suddenly...i dont know "why" it works, i have done the same, like
every time i try it, but yesterday my dash move to the needed "WHITE
Screen"! And so i able to run the Rom Update, and it works fine!
Ah yes, my Phone tell me i'm in "SuperCID" Mode...so "WHY" i must use
this "CID Bypass Tool" ....crazy??? Or is my Phone a Liar...?
I have now installed this Rom, it Works a bit faster i mean:
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe
But it is the same Rom Vers, like my old O2-Cosmo Rom, WM5.0 (1) with
Future Pack. But i have now the HTC Splash Screen!
So i want now to install this Rom (with WM6.1) :
"NoThrills_WM61_GER_V3.exe"
This is a "Kaiser" Rom... "Warum eigentlich Kaiser, hat der Beckenbauer damit
was zu tun...*g*
But when i try to run again the "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS" tool, my
dash show me only the "Linux Monkey" (Pinguin) Screen and hang up the
Phone, so that i must remove the battery....
The "White Screen" (that is the Screnn you must have to flash your Rom),
will dont come anymore....i dont know how...??? I start this batch file,
"Uspl.bat" ... and follow the instructions....mmh....allways i get the Linux
Monkey Screen...and not the white screen, "WHY" ?
Anybody a hint, how i can move into the "White Screen" Modus?
And a Question, is this Kaiser Rom compatible to my HTC S620 ?
Please belive me, i read a lot here...but i cant figure out this..., this Forum
here is a bit confusing, on many Threads you can read other informations!
Plz anyone, tell me (who know it) how i move exactly in the White Boot Screen?
Thank you!

If I understand you right you flashed a rom from the HTC Kaiser on your Dash. That's Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional for Touch Screen Devices. You need a rom from this thread for your Dash, not the Kaiser thread. Those ROM's are specifically for that phone. I doubt they'd even work on other Touch Screen phones because of it has the radio (I believe Radio is like Drivers in Windows, I may be wrong.) for that phone. As to fix your problem. I have no clue. Maybe you can get lucky and reflash it with an Official Dash ROM for your phone, but better getting advice on that from one of the more experienced people here. I'm a bit of a newby when it comes to this phone stuff. Good luck...

Thank you!
But "NO" i don't flash my HTC S620 wit a Kaiser Rom..."What a Luck" ...i try
to do it...and now im Happy that this have not work for me!
I actually install this Rom:
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.9 0_Ship.exe
I have now understand, what is a Kaiser ROM, it is the Device Name, oh
Man...i'm so a dummy....haha...
But i have a success, i change my O2 Rom to a HTC Rom
The Question now is, how i move in the "WHITE BOOT SCREEN" ?
That i'm able to Update my Rom to a WM6.1, if posible, a German 6.1 Rom.
Is here a German WM6.1 Rom?
Is a WWE a Multilingual Rom, is in such ROMs German Language included?
And how i can remove the CID forever, so that im able to update a ROM
without a CID Bypass Bootloader?
Any ideas?
The thing is, ...this CID Bypass Bootloader work "ONCE" and now that
Bootloader dont work anymore...i dont know why...i get only the Linux
Pinguin Screen...and this is a "Hang up Screen" so that i must remove
the Battery, for a new start.
But i get nevermore the "White Boot Screen" ...how is this posible?
I do the same, like before i do...mmh...???

If I understand what's been said. You need to re-run the CID-Bypass anytime you reflash you phone. As for a German ROM. I am not sure. Ypu'd need to look around through the furom. You could try the "Seach" feature and see what you come up with.

Thank you,
but i try to run the "CID Bypass" but the "CID Bypass" run every time
into the "Linux Pinguin Screen" ...(i think it is programed in Linux?)
But the same "CID Bypass Bootloader" - work - for me "once" !
But now, not ! I dont know why?
With this CID Bypass Bootloader, i flash my Q2 Rom into a HTC Rom !
But that was only possible, as my dash move with this "CID Bypass Bootloader"
INTO a "White Boot Screen"...!
But "HOW" this was possible...i dont know...now this CID Bypass Bootl.,
wont work anymore....
You know what i mean?
The same tool (CID Bypass) wont work anymore, it work one time only.
When i now try to run this CID Bypass, i get a "Linux Pinguin Screen" in
Black. So there is a little Linux Pinguin "Preloader" ...and then the Phone
have a SOD..."Stand of Death" you Guys call that so, i think so!?
To search here, is very strange for me....i get results of all Forums here!
That was the reason why i want to try the Kaiser Rom, while i search
here in the Excalibur Forum...so i had think so, that was wrong, you know!?
Sorry, my english is not good enough to tell exactly my expirience!
But Thank you for Advice!

Hum, does it still look like windows mobile? If so they may have just changed the load screen. Either way when you run the bypass program, there' one step that'll show a screen on the phone when in windows mobile itself and you must press the center soft button to "continue" and then it'll enter the white screen mode. Sometimes I forget this step and bounce through the steps missing that. If you can't get into windows mobile, try reflashing with your phones official ROM first. They don't require the white screen. There's also a way to enter the bootloader screen by holding down a button, I forget which, while you press power to turn the phone on.

...no no, this ROM runs great! I have no Problem with this Rom!
But i have found a Solution "Yeah" !
For all who want to flash a O2 Cosmo!
Try this Link: Click
Thanks to the Uploader, found it by searching!
The last in line: "Unlock_phone_files.zip" !
Follow the steps in the text document!
Work fine for me!
But when you want to flash, and you get a connection ERROR, remove
the USB cabel, and put it back on your Dash, and run then only the
"ROMUpdateUtility.exe" again and it will work.
(Your srceen are allways WHITE!!!)
I had flash for 10min the "RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe"
You must extract the exe file, and copy the *.nbh file to folder 3!
After you run the "Auto.bat" and the Connection Error, click finish,
remove the USB cabel, put it back on the dash and run again and only
the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" !
All work fine!
Thank you Developers!

Complete idiots guide needed, please!

It might be very simple to all you educated guys, but I am sure there are a few more like me that are a bit baffled by some of the threads on here.
What would be REALLY nice would be a 'simple' step-by-step guide to installing wm6 on our devices, and what we need to download to achieve it, eg "you need this for MDACIII, and this for O2 Orbit"
Obviously anyone trying it runs the risk of buggering up their phone, but that's their own fault.
Any volunteers?

having asked the same question myself here goes.
Download USPL and follow the instructions. they are very clear.
Download
extract
connect phone with minimum 50% battery
soft reset and once started up fully run the app by clicking on Rom Update utility
follow the process through once finished your device will restart.
once restarted you then can flash the rom of your choice
I used Black and Blue again ran the update utility and bingo.
dont forget that all data on your device will be lost so make sure you have back up of contacts etc in outlook on pc.
Finaly make sure you have Activesync 4.5
enjoy
AS STATED ALTHOUGH THIS WORKS YOU ALL DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
Id just like to know really is that how many people have done it without unlocking the device for o2 orbit uk. i have one and am not really willing to try it unless i know there are people out there that have tried it and it worked.
as there is no rom install file from o2 for this, there is no way bacj and bricked phone is the only way forward. id like not to brick my phone as i need it daily.
so, has anyone with a locked o2 device upgraded to WM6 successfully and which rom did you use if it worked.?

i have o2 uk orbit and all is well
pof said:
I created update package for this ROM in NBH format, so no risk of bricking when flashing it, just unzip & run RomUpgradeUtility.exe
Download here:
ARTE_WWE_WM6.zip​
NOTE: Before flashing you need to have Artemis USPL on your device.

Taken from Bepe's thread about the modified o2 German update. Basically you need to use the Artemis USPL program and then use the first link to install which I did successfully on a CID locked phone.
Thanks guys, but, unfortunately, the uspl thing does not work on my pc
Along with a few others I get the 'black screen' on my mdac3 then activesync disconnects and the rom loader throws up an error
Luckily my mdac3 survives through a soft reset
I think the idiots guide is not quite there yet
hi..
i have O2 uk orbit.. which is still locked, i fully charged the battery, completed a hard reset of the phone used the pof Artemis Update SPL (USPL) v.01 upgrade (wow what a brain box he is!) just in case it failed, so i could you use any NBH file to get you orbit to work again if i failed. Then used Bepe's WM6 os.nb file renamed it to windows.nb downloaded ATRE.zip unzipped the ARTE.zip file placed the windows.nb into the same directory, don't forget to edit UpgradeRom.bat file 0x3900000 to 0x3500000 with in the ATRE directory and copied and installed EnableRapi.cab to the phone. Reset it the phone and then started the UpgradeRom.bat! 12 mins later upgrade complete. Hard restart the phone.. Chewing nails by now... all went well did a soft reset of the phone before the O2 ExtROM autorun starts..
sorted, and did half way though a night shift at 3 am.. not bad at all!

Confused... is it really necessary to take all these steps? I thought that the only thing required is to run Pof's tool USPL, and after that run Romupdateutility.exe from the package in .nbh format (the link is just a few messages above yours). Please correct me when I'm wrong.

OK, I volunteered... This is a detailed list of steps how I installed a new ROM on my MDA Compact III (CID locked, at least I think so). It worked without any errors or problems. I used PDAVIET Black&Blue v2.0. It was my first flash on my Artemis, so I more than understand your need for step-by-step guide
1. download the file Artemis_USPL.zip
2. unpack into the folder c:\USPL
3. download the file ARTEMIS_Black_Blue_v2.zip
4. unpack into the folder c:\ROM
5. soft reset your phone and have it charged over 50% (I have it fully charged)
6. wait until the system starts on your Artemis
7. turn on flight mode (probably not necessary, but I wanted to minimize any risks)
8. connect your Artemis to PC with a USB cable
9. wait until ActiveSync icon in your tray (lower right corner of your windows desktop) turns from gray to green. If you connect your Artemis for the first time to PC, you do not need to set up synchronization, just click "cancel" on the first screen of "Synchronization Setup Wizard"
10. while ActiveSync icon is green, run c:\USPL\start_uspl.exe
11. a DOS screen will pop up with the text "Initializing: 0.." in the bottom indicating probably seconds from the start (it stopped around 70 in my case after about 1.5 min)
12. DOS screen disappears and PDA Phone ROM update utility pops up
13. at the same time, your Artemis turns blank (orange/green LED turns off as well)
14. tick the check box next to " I understand..." and then click Next
15. tick the check box next to " I completed..." and then click Next
16. a box saying "Verifying information on your PDA..." pops up
17. on the next screen click Update button
18. next screen says "Upgrade to ... image version 9.99" - click Next
19. Next screen says "You are now ready to update..." - click Next, a window with a blue progress bar appears with a text "Updating ROM image..", it quickly runs to 100%
20. next screen says "Congratulations! ..." - click Finish
21. your phone turns on and boots into your old system, however it should be CID unlocked now
22. your Active Sync should reestablish and icon turns green again
23. do not touch anything (phone or USB cable) and run C:\ROM\ROMUpdateUtility.exe (make sure activesync icon is green)
24. PDA Phone ROM Update utility window appears, tick the check box next to " I understand..." and then click Next
25. tick the check box next to " I completed..." and then click Next
26. a box saying "Verifying information on your PDA..." pops up
27. on next screen click Update button (says "Current information...")
28. next screen says "Upgrade to ... image version BnB2.0" - click Next
29. Next screen says "You are now ready to update..." - click Next
30. a window with a blue progress bar appears with a text "Updating ROM image..", your Artemis will have light gray screen with blue progress bar showing the progress of flashing - do not touch anything and wait (it took 2-3 minutes on my 3 years old PC)
31. next screen says "Congratulations! ..." - click Finish
32. your Artemis turns on and starts booting, you can disconnect it from PC now
33. the boot screen remains the same (T-Mobile in my case), so do not panic!! it is normal
34. wait until calibrate the screen appears, calibrate, choose time zone and you are ready to use your new OS
35. let me know if this manual was clear enough, whether it helped you and please suggest potential changes for improvement
Take care,
Dzim
i've just succesfully flashed my dutch CID-LOCKED MDA Compact 3 with this method, so i'd say it's reasonably fool-proof
A couple of questions before i take the plunge - if my t-mobile cmda iii is already CID unlocked, can i just go straight to the update rom part.
Also, is there any way of dumping my standard t-mobile rom first off? I'm having trouble trying to use itsutils due to the app lock.
Cheers Dzim!
Your instructions worked perfectly.
One very happy complete idiot here!

There is a TMobile rom on here somewhere already, I just cant find it at the moment
My Compact 3 it’s death now. After pres voice commander button MDA start only to the boot loader. Can’t run complete system.
Pleas tell me. How can I write the new rom with WM5 or WM6 ?
OOPS! Working well apart from the "cant save word documents" bug!!
Just an update - to use the v1 or v2 black and blue, even though it is unlocked, you still need to use the supercid util.
Otherwise you get the rom update getting to 3% before crashing out to say the rom is corrupted.
I've now converted 2 other tmobile compact mda IIIs successfully, wm6 is much quicker
Yes, with my Compact was exactly as You say. Now is death. What I can do now to repair it.
big thanks to Dzim, used the idiots guide and now on wm6 =D
cheers!
PS: first post
Hi! Nemesis, try to connect your HTC to your pc in bootloader mode.
Lauch start_uspl.exe in USPL folder. Follow instruction on post N°9 by DZIM.
After USPL your HTC should reboot (maybe in bootloader mode only).
Launch the ROMUpdateUtility.exe in Black&Blue ROM v2 and follow instruction.
Thanks gguyaz
Pleas tell me.
Could I doing this upgrade with Windows Vista on my PC?

htc s620 stuck at startup

Hi,
My S620 is stuck at the startup screen showing just the htc logo and won't go any further. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Try to remove the battery, the SIM card and the memory card. Just insert the battery and try again. This worked for me.
It does not work:-( Anyone know how to put directly into bootloader mode?
Or anyone has any other tip?
bump anyone have an idea why mine stopps at the htc screen at start up?
Hard reset?
Did you tried hard-reset? You need at least one previous sync sesion, or you will loose everything stored on the device.
I tried that. Not working;-(
It does not react at keyboard pressure at all;-(

I had a similar problem and Imeicheck helped me out.
"Plan B" worked for me.
I hope this will help you.
A) flashing ANY new ROM as CROSS-MODEL-ID update
B) Fix the "Data crashes"
In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear / not working for you.
Just do EVERYTHING EXCAT STEP BY STEP and everything will work.
---------
A)
Please do it EXACT step by step like described now and it will work (it is ESSENTIAL that you do it EXACT STEP BY STEP)
0) turn off antivirus/firewall/everything else running in background
1) start phone in windows, connect active sync (green circle in system tray of your pc)
2) start the unlocker (phone screen will turn white, active sync will disconnect, THIS IS NORMAL)
3) when asked for KEY-FILE or COMM ERROR#1 comes up WAIT 2 MINUTES (DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING)
4) DO NOT TOUCH PHONE AT ALL for ALL the next steps!!!
5) remove USB cable
6) close the unlocker on PC
7) reconnect USB cable
8) unpack the "RUU_Excalibur_TMO_US_1.20.531.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Test.exe"
(right click on the .exe and select "Winzip->Unzip to folder..."
9) in the extracted folder you will find a file called like "RUU_signed.nbh" (.NBH), open it with HEX EDITOR (e.g. HexWorkshop) and locate the string like "EXCA20000" near the beginning of the file. Change it to "EXCA****" (all without the quotes, overwrite the DIGITS with STARS)
10) in the extracted folder you will find a file called like "RUU_Update.exe", open it with HEX EDITOR and SEARCH the string "BsaD5SeoA" and OVERWRITE it with "IMEICHECK" (all without the quotes)
11) start the just edited RUU_Update.exe now and make the ROM update (screen of phone will stay white ALL THE TIME, THIS IS NORMAL)
12) wait till update is complete and phone will start with the new ROM
13) To fix the "Data Crashes" problem just make a COMPLETE run of the unlocker (see B) ) and you are done.
---------
B) To fix the "Data crashes" you only have to make a COMPLETE run of the unlocker.
Please do it EXACT step by step like described now and it will work (it is ESSENTIAL that you do it EXACT STEP BY STEP)
0) turn off antivirus/firewall/everything else running in background
1) start phone in windows, connect active sync (green circle in system tray of your pc)
2) start the unlocker (phone screen will turn white, active sync will disconnect, THIS IS NORMAL)
3) when you get COMM ERROR #1 WAIT 2 MINUTES (DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING)
4) DO NOT TOUCH PHONE AT ALL for ALL the next steps!!!
5) remove USB cable
6) close the unlocker on PC
7) reconnect USB cable
8) start unlocker again and now it will complete the unlock
9) at next start the "Data Crashes" will be away.

s 621 stuck on wm6
hello
Need Help pls! my new htc dash has stucked on the wm6 logo, active sync does not recognize the phone . it happened after ive installed on phone language extender
could any1 help pls...?
thnks
Ok this is what you do, hold down the camera button located to the right of the space bar for like 10 seconds, then while still holding it own plug the USB in and you should see the menu come up with three colors. This is where you load your original ROM and if its T Mobile you can get the rom from the website.
s 621 stuck on wm6
thank you very much for ur reply. i got the 3 color on screen. pls advise meaning of "flash..." pls note im not a t mobile member
thank u so much for helping
Oh ok I can get that rom for you, well flash means to install. Let me ask you one quick thing is your phone tmobile branded. Like does it have the tmobile logo on it or not.
s 621 stuck on wm6
nop
the phone aint branded
i actually got wm6 and when i try to install it the black window says there s no device connected..
Um... Well use this file to reflash it okay. Make sure that the tri-colored screen is on when you try to install the rom (reflash means install ok)

Hi All
I really have tried reading up on HSPL and SSPL - and I have been very close to trying to flashing my brand new Diamond Touch, but everytime I cancel the last operation, flashing the phone.
I got it yesterday, and it is a businessphone - but still I want to play a little around with it, trying some of the stuff that is out there.
Beeing a businessphone I really need to know what I am dooing - and therefore I have read the wiki about HSPL and SSPL, and I think I have an idea of what is what - but then reading some of the threads about new HSPL's I still get confused... It might be the heat here in Denmark as I am no noob at flashing stuff, like PSP's, Ipods...
So, after all this - to my noobish questions...
1. When flashing/installing a HSPL (not SSPL at the beginning) I do not hardreset anything, it is just a new bootloader? My phone software (SSPL) is in danish, så I dont want to mess that up!
2. I see instructions like the ones below, but am I right to think, that I have to copy the file DiamondCustomRUU directly to the phone - and not try to run it from my pc? And how do I choose which HSPL .nbh-file that I want to use - I think I have downloade 5 different at this time.
So I think that there might be one or more steps missing?
1) download hardSPL
2) create a new folder on desktop
3) unzip to new folder
4) plug in your device
5) wait until Windows Mobile Device Centre on your PC says "connected"
6) run diamondsspl.bat from the new folder you just created
7) spacebar all the way
8) your PDA will show up a window
9) click close/continue on PDA
3. I have tried running RomUpdateUtility from Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex. The software do connect to my phone, and tell me what software I am currently using, but when I click "next" to make the update, nothing happens for a while - and at the end it times out...
Ok, thats it - I just want to be 100% sure what I am doing!

Ah, now I seem to be getting it!
Now I just have to decide on what HSPL to use - i want to use Cyphols DIAM.DAN.137.403-3 as it is a danish ROM, and it requires a developer HSPL as far as I can read....

Original Vodafone SPL (warranty)

Hello,
I've got an touch diamond with hard spl and windows mobile 6,5... but today my touch screen doesn't react on touching anymore so I need to send it for warranty. I had an backup of my original spl but I lost it installing windows 7...Now I need an original spl for my vodafone phone... Maybe someone can help me with this(I'm from holland don't know if that matters for the version of the spl...)
already many thanks...
Erick
Try searching on the Vodafone website for a Rom for your device, if you are able to find it then flash it, it will install the rom and radio, but the SPL will remain HardSPL. As the final step when you have your stock rom flashed is the SPL flashing, the SPL can be extracted from the Vodafone rom package with "nbh extract"... when you will have it follow the steps in the HardSPL thread where you can find the way to flash the original SPL...
Allright, I installed a new firmware from the internal storage because my touch screen doesn't work... now the only thing i need is the original bootlader. I tried nbh extract but it doesn't work on my windows? (windows 7) here is the link to my original rom http://www.vodafone.nl/Vodafone/wg2...igned_Diamond_52.44.25.24_1.08.25.08_Ship.exe
maybe someone can help me how to install the bootloader...(again I have no touchscreen anymore
regards and thanks already
heres how i envisage doing it.
you need to run jumpspl on your phone. I guess you can still run an OS and execute apps using the navi pad and action key.
if you have done the jumspl correctly your screen will rurn blank connect your phone to your PC and then you can flsh the original spl back!
i attach the jumpspl with instructions as well as the SPL.nb file extracted from the ROM which you posted the link to.
i did not recreate it as an nbh file as i do not know what model ID, country ID,Version and language your phone, is may be some one else can tell you! or if you tell me can build a flashable nbh for you!
i ask can some one else to please verify this procedure first, before you attempt doing it!
Well great thanks for the help but maybe you can make a flash file for me...the next thing is the problem, windows is installed and when you want to start windows you will need to tap te screen to run the standard procedure to allign the screen and set the date...I can't do this without touch and so i can't load any apllications how do i find the info that you need?regards
Can anyone tell me where to find:
ID, country ID,Version of my HTC touch Diamond??(without touch screen)
regards
alrright the next things i've found hope that it helps for creating a nbh file for my spl instead of the hardspl...
Country - The Netherlands
Dutch Language
Rom1.93
DIAM100
FCDID:NM8DMS
ok ive done it with the info you gave but i also used some of the generic info like Moel ID= Diam**** .... etc
the nbh is built but you should get confirmation off some one else before you proceed! i take no responsibility ! hope this helps
can somebody check/confirm this? Already many thanks! regards Erick
allright i installed it but it doesn't work still have got olinex spl...at this moment active sync is working maybe someone can help me out now?
regards
it wont work until you run jump sl properly! jump spl overides the write restrictions on the spl!
if you run jump sply correctly the screen will go blank as soon as you execute it!
then connect you usb cable and flash! (whilstthe screen is blank)
already thanks for the great help, JUMPSPL is running! now i try to install the rom with customruu and then copy the nhb you made for me in the same directory..only it still stays on olinex
CustumRUU says it is installed correctly and that it's finished...I think Jump SPL isnt working like it should, the screen is not turning black but it says that i can install the spl...I think the problem is that i can't alling the screen and windows is not fully loaded yet..?
regards
mmm, the problem is jum spl alright! im sorry i dont have a solution for you may be some one else can help! try searching i quiet sure i have read similar problems elswhere!
yeah the problems are there enough but no sollutions to it...I need the following thing...In the startup folder of windows mobile there is the welcome screen, i wan't to delete it so maybe i can go throug loading windows and then i maybe can load the jump spl...just to skip the allignment of the screen...but when i want to delete the files it says that i've got no autohority, also not with total commander, maybe someone knows anything to delete the files with active sync..?
regards and many thanks already to idristo

Htc touch diamond

hi i am a newbie, please bear with me as i dont know where to post this thread.
i recently loaded duttys bsb6.5 rom. i have following questions.
1) this rom has a different interface such as pics, music, text, email clock etc are written on home screen, its not manila. is it called titanium?
2) i loaded rom but after few hours, the system hangs and reinstalls the rom itself, i have tried the direct flashing from internal storage as well as from RUU inclued.
3) i read about mtty, but dont know how to use it, mtty opens up with a notepad like thing, i am completely lost
4) please suggest a best rom for diamond similar to dutty's with text interface, please suggest why my phone hangs after duttys and what shud i do to avoid it.
5) i like rom which is minimal, text interface, complete with softwares such as change screen, c home editor etc
i do not want the icons on the bottom ( softkeys written in clutter), i want just text,no bars etc
everything as this picture is fine but i dont want the lock , start, at the bottom, neither the softkeys in clutter, simple text softkeys are fine.
if anyone knows a light, titanium, like bsb6.5 duttys rom, please suggest or help me to resolve the hangs and freezes on bsb6.5

Hi, your problems you are having are simple. They are dealt with very easily! The MTTY basically formats your phone to get rid of any "left over bits" of the old rom. There is a thread where someone has explained in detail how to use it, if I were to explain here, I would simply be copying his thread so please read it! The thread is titled "the difinitive mtty thread".
Regarding the rom you have chosen, you are just not used to the new layout. I'm not a fan of titanium either. The original style interface is called manilla, which I prefer. People are trying to move away from it because it is RAM hungry. I recommend using energy rom. I recommend this because he has a manilla (or touch flo 3d) version, AND his rom is pre loaded with fun applications for you to try out! Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517300
Good luck, dont panic! It's not as difficult as it seems!
cant get hard spl to work
i tried everything, jumpspl.
hardspl kaiser dont work on my rom
in the definite mtty thread they say download hardspl ver 7 which i cant find anywhere. plz help
To do an MTTY you dont need any SPL. You need hardSPL to flash a custom ROM... Have you done a HardSPL ?
To do an MTTY basically all you need to do is charge your phone, then bring it into bootloader (press reset button under the stylus and press volume down until the 3 colour screen is shown).
next step is to connect the phone to the pc with the usb cable. the phone should say USB instead of serial. if it doesnt then your pc doesnt have the correct drivers. (drivers found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290)
once your phone says USB, then load the exe file mtty1.42.exe (also found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290) and select USB in the drop down list and press ok.
a white text box will appear, type task 29 and press enter. once it's finished, use CustomRUU.exe to flash your new rom. job done.
Now, where are you getting stuck? I think the MTTY guide is pretty noob friendly! I've attached a custom RUU to save you looking...
Hey, I found this on the main page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
It's a complete upgrading guide. may be read that before doing anything to your diamond! You dont want to break it for good!
cant load the energy rom either
