Returning US 3G Diamond back to Best Buy

The phone originally came with ROM v. 1.93.422.4 and the 08 radio. I've tried to search for it but where could I find the original stock ROM to flash back to? Also what SPL would I need to put on?
Or does Best Buy not even care if I had a different ROM flashed onto it?
Found a thread with a dl here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432496
I'm not sure exactly what to do with it. It's an .nbh file and do I need a certain version of HardSPL first?

yes I advise you to first hardspl then flash rom, then go back to original spl.

how do i use this .nbh file and where do i get the original spl?

I couldn't find the ROM when I returned my Diamond to Best Buy, so I restored the SPL and hoped they wouldn't notice the 1.93.Dutty in the lower corner of the boot screen .
It worked, and I got my money back.

They are the official HTC 2.03 ROMs, they are bland, boring and unmodified...so no, they don't contain copilot or TomTom.

Oh new official rom....

More thank likely...HardSPL is your best bet, it almost guarentees a proper install of the rom.

since i could not get this working, I have did the following:
loaded SPL-1.40.OliNex and loaded the following cooked ROM "Duttys_5.2.20764.1.4.3_V4_Full_MSVC_[2.03].zip" it works fine.
So i'm just wondering can i overwrite with this "hTC_Asia_WWE_2.03.707.2_Radio_Signed_D iamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23" and use SPL-1.40.OliNex?

I also want to do the same. I just want to flash a latest HTC official ROM. The "cooked" ROMs are very confusing to me.
I have extracted the RUU_signed.nbh file. When I try to flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe (using SPL-1.40.OliNex), it actually shutdown the power of the phone and exit ActiveSync. I have to remove the phone battery to recover.
It also does not flash from the internal memory of the phone.
I also tried NBHUtil, still no good.
I have downloaded RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition.zip. When I try to flash it, it gives a version number 1.00. It is lower than my current number 1.40. So I did not try it.
I am running out of options. Any relevant suggestions would be appreciated.

whether it's cooked ROM or official ROM, it is recommended by the gurus here that you have Hard-SPL installed. After that, install cooked ROM or official ROM is the same method.

I have written a note about how to install the 2.03 official ROM on a DIAM130, as the following. I hope you'll find it useful if you have a Telstra branded Touch Diamond.
I'll never buy a carrier branded handset again as it makes ROM flashing more complicated.
Touch Diamond ROM flashing instructions
1. Hard-SPL
a. Download Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip, and extract all files to a directory.
b. Establish a USB ActiveSync link
c. Double click ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow on-screen instructions
2. HTC official ROM
a. Download RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.03.707.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship.exe, right-click it and extract all files to a directory.
b. Down-load NBHUtil.zip, double click it to start WinRAR (you may need to install WinRAR is you have not done so), double click NBHUtil.exe to start it.
c. Under Extract NBH, navigate to RUU_signed.nbh from step a, extract Radio, Splash, and OS. Note down the Target CID and version.
d. Under Build NBH, enter the Target CID and version as noted in the previous step. Build NBH and save it in the directory in step 1.
e. Connect USB and enter boot-loader – power up and hold-down the volume-down button
f. Double click ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow on-screen instructions
g. After ROM update, it has only one band selection: UMTS (900+2100) + GSM (900+1800). This may not look good for Telstra. However, some people has commented that if select auto, 850MHz should be OK. With a number of testing with different mix of ROM and radio versions, it has been identified that this has nothing to do with radio drivers. This ROM has disabled other band selections.
3. Notes
a. ROM update when the phone is on may not be possible. The phone actually turns off. The phone battery must be removed to recover.
b. The ROM 2.03 update from the internal storage is not successful.

Question about Radio upgrade

I have the vzw 3.37 radio and i want to upgrade to 3.42 or whatever is the newest one. Can i use the radio file in a RUU and flash it like that? IF i can will it override my WM or anything other than the radio? Thanks.

Yes, you can do it via RUU. Like any radio upgrade, it will not touch the OS and you will not loose anything. Keep in mind that the phone needs to be SuperCID unlocked or else you will not be able to flash it. (different from HardSPL unlock)

thanks for replying. Im new to flashing. Can you point me in the right direction in terms of supercid?

or the easier way.
download it in the rru, there should be an nbh file.
USE A 2GB MEMORY CARD OR LESS
then just rename the nbh file as "VOGUIMG.nbh" or "VOGUIMG" and throw it into bootloader and it should flash.

A way to undo HardSPL ??

My buddy has a Tilt 2, and has decided to get another phone.
He wants to get it back to stock, and put it on ebay.
I know he can flash back to the stock ROM floating around.
Is there any way to undo the HardSPL, so it will be really stock ?
Thanks.

Detials found below were retreived from <<HERE>>...at the end of POST #2
how to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. please make sure you already flashed stock ROM and radio, because stock SPL flash is *always* the last step before sending the device in.
1. download the Relocker attachment, extract the zip and run the EXE on your PC
2. if you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary (this Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL signed by our custom cert). the included one is the 0.79.0000 stock SPL. you also have the option for 0.84.0000 and 0.87.0000, see the attachments.
3. flash
4. verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 0.79.0000 (or 0.84.0000 or 0.87.0000), not 0.85.OliNex.

Awsome thanks, i'll give him the info ........

[Q] Radio download

Hi, so I've been trying to get the right radio for me and my friend with DHD (I have Inspire 4G and do not get any 3G signal) has this radio: 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M. I found a download link on this site ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9891546&postcount=1 but I am unable to flash it. I noticed the ZIP file does not contain "android-info.txt" file. I know how to flash a radio with bootloader and I was successful in flashing other radios but it seems that it cannot be flashed without the file or the file itself is corrupted.
So does anyone know how to flash it or does anybody have the ZIP file with android-info.txt ? thanks a lot people!
edit: oh and... the downloaded file does not pass the checksum test.
edit2: just wondering. there are three antennas on DHD. One for GPS (under flashlight cover), one at sim cover and one at battery cover. which one of these last two is for 3G signals? contacts might be bad or damaged

To flash radio from that site you need ENG S-OFF which WILL MESS YOUR DEVICE. Check this thread (Inspire 4G and DHD radios are compatible as they are the same phone with different frequencies) to get a PD98IMG folder or use the guide in my signature to get an empty one:

since I have been successful in flashing radios from that site I guess I already have ENG S-OFF (although I don't know how to determine it, I know I did some S-OFF). The thing is, I think I need the exact radio version I posted above since it should finally give me 3G. I am located in Central Europe and I believe those radios are mainly for USA, are they not? Also,
Q. Why not just go to the Desire HD thread for Radio and RIL files?
A. Because we own an Inspire. While these phones are almost identical, the software used on each is NOT always compatible. This includes Radio images.

S-OFF is not ENG S-OFF...so if you have ENG S-OFF in the bootloader you will see ACE PVT ENG S-OFF....
From the thread I linked you, you have compatible radios for DHD and Inspire...many of the radios are compatible thou not all of them have been tested. I have used many DHD radios in my Inspire and had no issues at all.

I figured as much.
since I have ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL in my bootloader, I don't understand HOW could I flash that radio if I need to be ENG S-OFF in order to do so... or does it just seem to be flashed and in fact it is not?

Have you read the thread I linked you? there is the key....you have to flash radios as PD98IMG.zip files in the bootloader. That is the safest way, anyway.

I always download the ZIP package, rename to PD98IMG.zip, copy it to my SD card, reboot to bootloader, flash the radio, reboot the phone. Never did it different. And gave me error only once, only when the radio I need does not have android-something.txt file in the package.
I just need those packages with correct radio version and according RIL. and I'd like to know which antenna is which. so if anybody has or knows, please, do tell me.

is there anything specific you want me to read outloud? there is NOT the correct version I need (well there is, but it is just incomplete). I know how to flash it, I know there are "slight differences" between inspire 4g and DHD (according to the topic) but I do not have the correct package so I could rename it and flash it. I tried. Oh yes I tried. Did not work. Wouldnt flash. So I just need a link to the correct version. If you don't have it, please, leave it.
MD5 is not the same in the post as on the file and there is one file less in the package than in other packages of different radios.
BTW, I am not asking you to do my work, I am just asking if anyone has it. I tried to google it, all of the links I have found are dead (or making me download some youtube downloader). Oh and I am reading.
you know what? somebody lock this thread, please... I think I want to figure this one out myself. Even if it means not having 3G in my phone. I am not going to let glevitan make fun of me. dunno who's not reading.
