Flashing HTC DIAMOND Rom - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Would this modified procedure(shown in the Diamond service manual) work for any rom image and without any Hardspl program.
FLASHING ROM’S :
Copy image file XXX.nbh to the ‘INTERNAL MEMORY' and rename to DIAMIMG.NBH
Press and hold Volume down+ Right button, and press Power button to entry Boot loader mode.
Press Power button to start upgrade procedure.
Reading source code from INTERNAL MEMORY. [Note]: This process will takes 10 minutes, please don’t power off the device.
After finish, press Reset button to reboot.

just read the sticky threads. do _NOT_ flash without hardspl on your phone, its bad.

Here it is.. enjoy.

Thx your responce.
I did know the procedure with hardspl.
I was looking to see if anybody has tried the procedure described in the diamond service manual with non-official rom's.
I have tried with the offical rom image from Htc, and it worked out perfectly.
If anybody has tried with non official rom's, please let me know, as this would make it easier to flash our diamond.

worked fine on the rom i use
check my sig for details

None of these awesome custom ROMs does work for me

Hey all,
ive read here now several days about updating your universal etc.
Im now quit a bit in the stuff and i wanted to upgrad my Qtek 9000 with some of these nice FWs here.
I tried Indras, helmis and another one but all dont want to start the Update.
I own an original Qtek 9000 without ANY branding, i used an official update which worked flawless 100% good!
Now any FW i choose here, gives me "Country Error" and YES i replaced the files from the directory but didnt help at all Also searched this forum alot but nothing could help me.
Also my IMEI isnt accepted at qteks website....
Any1 an idea? Do i need a special update?
Sorry for beeing dumb, but im just trying to get into this material
Greetings
--Edit--
I somehow killed my ROM and just did a hardreset and reinstalled the official upadte. worked great but still no update of these nice custom roms here
By replacing files, do you mean you used MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to upgrade?
And before you use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, did you put your device into bootloader mode?

I am not a genies guys like mamiach and others but following procedure I do for upgrading my Universal.
>1.0 Down load your preferred ROM version and extract it on your computer. Inside extracted file you will see among others the ROM file “nk.nbf”
>1.1 Download the file: Country_ID_Error.zip and extract it to folder “Country_ID_Error”
>1.2 Copy the “nk.nbf” file from the ROM folder in to folder Country_ID_Error folder.
>1.3 Set your device in Boot loader mode with pushing button combinations “Backlight button” + “power button” + and with your styles the “reset button”
>1.3.1 Now you will observe on your device boot loader screen which is in fact almost dark screen .
>1.4 Now Connect your device to your computer
>1.5 start the installation with the file “MaUpgradeUt_noID. exe ” which is in the folder “Country_ID_Error”
>1.6 After the ROM installation is completed, hard reset your Device with button combination: power button + 1st soft key control button + 2nd soft key control button (soft key buttons are the2 xbuttons on your device keyboard with the sign of “ –“ on it)
>1.6.1 Now on your device screen you will observe the message push the button “0” for factory settings which you will follow and complete the actual hard reset.
Well you are completed the ROM upgrade and it should be everything fine. :0)

Looks like Bulldog has beaten me to the answer.
Copy nk.nbf to Country_ID_Error directory of copy MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to the nk.nbf directory is the same.
thanks Bulldog
its been of great help
i figured out what the problem was.
I somehow had to flash back to an orignal rom and then only the roms here did work...
Thx for your help guys
problem entring bootloader
is there any way to flash the rom through memory card un able to enter the boot loader please help i have got struck at o2 screen

Impossible to change my ROM!?

Hi,
i've a big trouble.
My diamond has the belite 0.99 ROM, which was installed thanks to the hdSPL 1.34.
I never have any pb changing ROM nor Radio rom too.
But, since this week, i want to change my rom for the AZTOR HD v1 or to change back to stock HTC rom.
But, i can't!
Every time i start the process, my diamond's screen turns into black, the microsoft active sync disconnects, then, the program for changing rom tells me there is a pb of connection!?? (error 238).
So i tried to change my hdspl to olinex 1.38 signed, but same result. Sometimes, when the upgrading program runs, i got a disconnection, or sometimes, the diamond's screen shows the 3 color screen with bootloader information. But, the process for upgrading fails every times!!
Any idea to help me please ???
What about 1.40 unsigned?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2312363&postcount=2
i tried too!
this is really strange!
i have some difficulties to change my hdspl too!
i successfully changed from 1.34 hd to 1.38 olinex, but... i tried so much time and so much methods, i can't remember how i manage this change.
The fact is, to change ROM, or to change SPL, i got same results. Disconnection, black screen or boot loader screen..
Have you tried to flash from the internal storage? therefore bypassing the need to use Activesync.
you need to rename the ROM file (.nbh file) you have downloaded to DIAMIMG.nbh and transfer it to the root directory of the internal storage.
Ensure you phone is charged.
Now you need to hold down the Volume Down AND the "<-" button (the button just above end call) and press the stylus into the soft reset hole.
This will take you into the boot loader, keep the Volume Down, AND the "<-" button's held until you reach a grey screen you will be prompted to press the power button to perform the update to your phone.
Once it reaches 100% it will show "Update Success" and just sit there, at this point perform a Hard Reset, Volume Down AND the circle button and press the stylus into the soft reset hole.
Keep the Volume Down AND the circle button's held and you will be taken to another grey screen, prompting you to press Volume Up to perform the Hard Reset.
Try flash from BootLoader screen. There is Wiki that describe how.
lobsterdave>> thx, i'll try it after work today.
Lord_BlackAdder>> Flash from bootloarder ? where can i find this in the wiki please ?
Is it the same method described by lobsterdave ?
lobsterdave >> thx very much, it worked.
but i was only able to put htc official rom, not the cooked rom from aztor.
But no matter, now i can sell my diamond...
thx a lot, and happy new year to all!

Rom upgrade problem

Last night I wanted to install the official new dutch Vodafone rom for my diamond, from 1.37 to 1.97, so I started reading on the forums.
First I did a hard SPL, and now I have a SPL-1.30. Olinex, so I think that is right.
After the hard SPL I tried installing the RUU, but every time it starts installing, the progressbar stays at 0% and after some minutes, i get an 262 error. I tried it at several PC's, XP, Vista, Windows 7. So that is not the problem.
Anyone has an idea how to fix this?
greetings from holland, and sorry for my crappy english
Anyone has an idea, im realy wanting to upgrade
Sounds like u did everything right....but when flashing, using your pc is the last solution. Always flash Radios or Roms using the internal method.
Got this from Suiller:
COOKING ROMs & Radios from phone =-
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. soft reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
I only hard reset after a new Rom has been installed.........I don't do this for Radios.
I have the vodafone 1.97 rom on my computer, but it is an exe file. And I can't unrar it. So where can I find that big.nbh file?
I placed the nbh file, and i called it DIAMIMG. But when i boot, i get a grey screen that says loading and doesn't goes away.
Help needed!

Change the hard-spl to 1.93 olinex and your problem is over, has worked for me with all roms so far. And when you flash, put your phone in bootloader mode manualy and your flashes works every time.
And if the rom is a exe file you can forsure unzip it!! use right tool for that, ex. winzip and you have your .nbhfile
If the file is DIAMIMG.nbh you can rename it to RUU_signed.nbh and fla**** with udK.s Custom RUU
Maybe it's a noob question but where can i find the 1.93 version. And can i just install it over the SPL 1.30 version?
And how do i put it in manual boot?
Here you have the 1.93 version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
just flash the new one over 1.30 version
Manual boot
Volumedown + reset (hold it down for a while, and the 4 color screen will appear)
Put manual boot only when flash rom!! not hard-spl
It finally worked! Thank you all!

Official Diamond ROM 2.03 update - HELP

Hey guys,
I have no idea what's going on. I appreciate your suggestions. I flashed my Diamond many times (and other phones as well) with most of the ROM available. Unit a month ago or so I've been using the official 1.93 ROM with previously installed hard SPL 1.40. When I attempted to install a new 2.03 ROM I went through the whole procedure same way as always with a little exception. Right after completion - 100% the unit reboots, shows the rainbow screen with a message "Upgrade ROM code error" - try again. What is the world is this? I also have a message on my desktop "Error 270-update error" - The image file is corrupted. My unit is european and I downloaded the ROM from both US and Euro sites. From this point I managed to downgrade again to version 1.93. Then I ran again the hard SPL 1.40 and reattempted to upgrade to 2.03 - SAME THING!
I don't know what to do next. Why I cannot flush it with the latest ROM? Any ideas or similar situations? Please see picture.
Thanks
Same Thing happened to me :S wtf??

Hi have you tried to flash from the internal storage?
Have you tried flashing with internal storage method?
Exactly the same problem here, so I tried to flash to a really old original HTC ROM after the failure and it flashed fine
So I thought I would try upgrading over the top of an original ROM, had the same error , bloody HTC
So, any ideas how to resolve this issue? Are we stuck with the old ROM? I'm glad that I'm not the only one experiencing the same problem.
No, I have never tried to flash from internal storage. How can this be done? do I copy the whole .exe file to storage and run from there? Any pre-cautions?
Thanks
Though I bricked my phone when it happened, never seen that error before despite many ROM flashes
I have now tried tommytaos ROM which is supposed to be very close to the original but some with some tweaks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479049
It installed just fine on my phone. Seems HTC have broken their ROM

it's the best way to flash the rom and the safest...
From Suiller thread:
the standard procedure to cook a ROM is made trough activesync program, I mean that the .nbh file is pushed into the phone trough activesync, across the usb cable, but this procedure can give some troubles:
1. it takes long time, about 10 minutes
2. it's a bit unsafe (even if the procedure can be always restored safely)
3. it's possible only with Windows OS (NO Linux nor *BSD, et cetera...)
I don't know why this is not well known but ALL producers (like HTC) give the possibility to upgrade the rom/firmware without having MS windows (thanks GOD someone knows that there aren't only windows users).
This faster procedure can be done also with *nix variants (or whatever you use) because the ROM update is made directly by the phone.
The procedure is very simple, it will take just 2 minutes, can be done everywhere & is good for cooking radios too (very fast in this case)
-= COOKING ROMs & Radios from phone =-
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
notes:
* be sure to have at least 10/20% of charge, anyway the whole procedure will take about 2 minutes, so you must be ensure that your mobile will stay turned on for at least those 2 dirty minutes (just in case you can attach the power AC/DC too), don't panic if something goes wrong... read few lines below
* like told you above the same procedure is good for cooking Radio too, of course Radio are smaller and it will be really fast (about one minute!)
* you don't need windows anymore or activesync, is enough just to copy the file into the storage card (transfers WITHOUT activesync are faster)
* it's possible to make a reset simply by getting off the stylus and pressing the small red button under the stylus carrier
* don't worry if something goes wrong... any cook failure can be always restored, the important thing is that you don't fail hardspl flash... but you have to do it just one time in your life
special note about hard-spl:
if you have signed-only hard-spl I strongly suggest to upgrade to an un-signed one, personally I tested many & I can confirm that the "good ones", at least in my experience, are the Olinex 1.37 or 1.93, you can find a copy here
remember also that you can NOT brick your device if you have a good hard-spl (like the ones I mentioned above) & flashing directly from phone is really faster (also good for flashing radio)
so the only one thing you should take care is when you change/upgrade the hard-spl, but you have to do this step just once, I'm using this hard-spl from about 6 months & I was able to flash everything (plus dozen recovers for failed flash)
for rom/radio upgrades you can safely also reboot/remove cable/turn off your phone while flashing ...every lost flash can be always restored safely, it's enough to restart your device in boot mode & restart flashing, also with cable trough the classic RUU (to put device in boot mode simply reset & keep pressed Vol_Down button)
In the hope this procedure can be useful at least to save time
if you have the official rom which is a exe file you can extract the rom file using winrar.
EUREKA!!! Done Deal!!!
Flashed from Internal Storage as per following directions:

THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!
Flashing using the Internal Method is the safest and most convenient way to flash. Spread the word.......
xevier69, Thanks for your thread
Having just purchased Oli's security unlocker... I was annoyed about this problem with a HTC official rom!
But your method has solved this issue!
Thanks again
Thanks guys it works perfect!
This just happened to me too and the only roms i have ever flashed:
1.37 official spanish: came with the phone
1.37 official WWE
1.93 official WWE
and now 2.03 official WWE fails.
WTF... One would expect the upgrade not to fail, right?
I wonder if they are checking for HardSPL to be original too!?
Anyway thanks for the workaround
This worked for me to
Cheers

Install twice from activesync 1st time = error, run for the second time the same version and OK it updates.
At least with my Diamond had worked

Hi!
The same thing happend to me too... I think it's because of the serial number we have entered when we have downloaded that 100 MB ROM Update file from the HTC support site... well i think it doesn't match with the serial and IMEI of the phone that the upgraded rom checks at the end of the update process... so i think it's kind of a protection against piracy developed by htc... taiwanese idiots!
Hi!
pls anyone send any information about an rom update file that works and doesn't report errors after it installed 100%. pls specify it's rom version too! 2.03 would be great
thanks in advance

HTC TP2 bricked? Freezes at Start up!

Please help!
My HTC TP2 freezes at start up with the black screen and the Touch Pro2 Logo and some details in red at the bottom:
B 80
R 4.49.25.17
G 61.44tc.25.32U
D 1.86.67102
No USB connection can be established.
What happened:
1. Tried to update from original WM 6.1 to WM 6.5 by using the official HTC ROM update utility. Seems like USB connection broke during update and update freezed at 42%. Update utility process has stopped by itself (no process visible anymore in the Task Manager).
2. Restarted phone and multicolor screen appeared and stayed. After connecting with USB cable again "USB" appeared at the bottom. Started again the HTC ROM update utility which recognized the phone and started the update process again, but stopped at the beginning with an error message stating something like the ROM is broken.
3. Restarted again (by removing the battery and hit power button) and state reached like described above (HTC TP2 freezes at start up with the black screen and the Touch Pro2 Logo and some details in red at the bottom).
4. Performed a hard reset but did not help.
What can I do to bring the phone back to life?
So you can't or can get in the colored screen now? (the boatloader)
And it's kind of normal that their nothing happens after the tp2 + red information screen, this since their is no rom to startup.
EDIT
Is it possible to tell exactly what error you got?
EDIT
Try to hard reset your device, do you know how to do this?
If not this is how to do it:
To perform a hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."
2. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

This is just what worked for me..
Had the same issue on my tp...
Hope it will work for you.
Did already the hard reset - but this did not help as nothing changed!
One further info: whenever I insert the battery the device automatically starts up - until it freezes again at the start up.
Can someone please help?
It's normal that the device starts up when the battery is plugged in...
But this is just what I know out of my own experience.
So sorry I can't help you farther.
EDIT
Did some research you might want to try to flash your phone by micro sd... (not for sure if it helps but by some people it did work)
Read the tread about flashing at the top of the rhodium section and you know how to do it.
Did another trial: downloaded and copied a RHODIMG.nbh to the micro sd card, inserted it again and pressed volume up at startup -> colored screen appears shortly, then switches to a white screen telling "Loading..." in blue font color, but nothing more.
Is there anybody out there who can help?
Do I need a specific RHODIMG.nbh to make this approach working? I didn't flash this device before, so it has been still in the original manufacturer's state.

suppose 2 press down volume not up after soft reset
This may help,
Try entering bootloader by switching off device then switch back on holding down the Vol down key.
If you can enter bootloader this way then you wil be able to flash from SD card following the instructions from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
if you want to flash the Official update from HTC you can extract the Nbh from the Exe file you downloaded from them, just use winzip, Zzip or Win RAR to extract the contents from the Exe you are looking for RUU_signed.nbh..follow the above thread instructions to change the name of the file to RHODIMG.nbh.
I DONT KNOW IF YOU NEED TO HARD SPL FOR THIS..Probably better to do it than not. Can Anyone Confirm???
i hope this helps
Device is up and running again !
Could enter bootloader mode and tried first to install again via the official HTC installer -> worked!
Thanks a lot for your support!
great news welldone Bro and welcome to the forum!!!

if you want to flash the Official update from HTC you can extract the Nbh from the Exe file you downloaded from them, just use winzip, Zzip or Win RAR to extract the contents from the Exe you are looking for RUU_signed.nbh..follow the above thread instructions to change the name of the file to RHODIMG.nbh.
I DONT KNOW IF YOU NEED TO HARD SPL FOR THIS..Probably better to do it than not. Can Anyone Confirm???
i hope this helps

For future info, from what I have gathered you must hardSPl for all ROM flashes. If the ROM you flash is the stock ROM, you can also revert your SPL to stock. For any other ROM, you must leave your device hardSPL'd.
Hope I helped.
how were you able to connect the phone with the pc. i seem to have a similar problem but am finding it difficult to connect the phone to the pc. i have activesync installed but cannot connect to the phone

Try entering bootloader by switching off device then switch back on holding down the Vol down key.

is it possible to connect to active sync in bootloader, cos my phone cannot even boot, it freezes up with a white screen and htc logo.
After entering bootloader you can flash either way,either by ruu package provided by your ROM's maker or running official ruu release or if you have the renamed file on the root of your sd card....I never use sd card flashing and have never had a failed flash...If in bootloader it will not connect with activesync,but device should be recognized by ruu.exe
