Hello All,
I am in a fix right now . I ordered HTC Diamond from Rogers and got a french phone instead. I really cant do anything with that. Now I called rogers and they say they dont have touch english in stock anymore and dont expect it soon too. I have two choices only, flash with WWE ROM or return it back. I really dont wanna return it back but I am kinda new to all SPL thing. I want to flash it. I have experience in flashing my HTC Excalibur 3-4 times.
I just have two questions to ask and if you can answer them I will get to keep the phone or else I would have to send it back.
1. My current SPL version is 1.93 . So before flashing to a new rom which SPL should I flash it to. There are tons floating around. Can u pin point to me please.
2. Will any ROM work with the SPL?
I will really appreciate your help .
Thank you
UPDATE: I just found out there is a ROGERS WWE ROM on xda. Do I need to HARD SPL it or I can just change the ROM?
Yup, you'll still need to put the HardSPL on to allow you to change the device, as your changing it's region as far as the device knows.
Use this one:

It's Olinex's HardSPL for 1.93 (same one I used), works perfect.
Just make sure you follow the instructions on the flasher.
Thanks for your quick reply Phoenix..
I appreciate this...
Once SPL is done I can flash with any ROM right?
Thanks again...
Yup, no problem and lots of choice lol

Howd'y just got a new Jasjam Spl is 2.03 how do I go about flashing my rom as the RUU doesn't have my SPl in it ??? Basically I want to updat to CRC's latest
Do some more homework first dude, you dont wanna end up with a paperweight......ALWAYS make sure you have flashed HardSPL before you do ANYTHING.
Take a peek here about what to do: Flashing HardSPL. Then flash away with any ROM you please.
Done a lot of lookin but everything I look at doesn't state anything about the 2.03 version all I want to do is U/grade to CRC's Cooked version, is there a how to incl 2.03 ???? I can't find one

seriously....you DO NOT need/want to be using SPL 2.03....you are increasing the risk of bricking your device...flash hardspl 2.10 to your device then just flash CRCs rom using the utility included with it.
Follow the guide i posted earlier to make your device safe to flash then look in CRCs thread for the files you need to run the ROM.
Bongo333, listen to MrVanx.... You asked the question and he's giving you his expert opinion... Listen to his experience cos god knows his guides have helped me out a lot of times...We don't wanna be answering questions tomorrow about how to unbrick your hermes. Its easier if you listen to experience and have a good time upgading your hermes as we won't knowingly steer you wrong..
Cheers
Do you know how I can get back to SPL 2.03? as I'm having troubles with my Jasjam, and it's not related to various ROMs etc. and I want to take it back to Telstra, but I know that if it has my current SPL version (SPL-1.10Oli) it will be rejected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've gone through that, but that only gets you to SPL 1.06, which (I'm not sure really) is an older version which wouldn't be recognised by Telstra as genuine?
Thats fine thats a retail one.
You can go to 1.04
its here as stated on this mrvanx page

Hi everybody. I as probally most of u have a Diamond. I've been reading freaqently about Hardspl roms and such since it seems to make your diamond alot faster and better I would like to update/change my rom. As I understand HardSPL is usefull in the way that you can't brick your phone with rom flashing once you have HardSPL flashed. Am I right?
Then there is the choice of hardSPL. I've been looking at OliNex's unsigned 1.40 and OliNex signed 1.38. It seems signed is safer but Unsigned is more open, since you can flash any rom at all. I'm not real sure which one to get since I don't really know what rom seems most suitable for me.
I'm looking for a fast rom, ofcourse, most preferbly a swedish rom but I can survive with english as long as it's possible to get swedish (full and compact) QWERTY. Any suggestions on what rom I should use?
Then Radio I have kind of no idea what that is, can someone explain that real quick?
I guess i'm not the first of making this kindof thread, but please help a guy out. Thanks alot for all hard work so many of you put in to make the diamond more usefull!
Also it would be nice to be able to restore the diamond back to it's original spl and rom for warranty reasons. I have the vers and all written up. I've been looking at swifts rom, and duttys. Are those to recommend and what kind of HardSPL would I have to use to get either of them?

hi guys
as you can see im a total noob to the forums and to updating ROMs on the diamond
my htc diamond is running rom version
version: 1.37.707.1 WWE
date: 06/10/08
radio version: 1.00.25.03
protocol version: 52.26a.25.09H
i find that phone lags a bit and slows down especially when im unlocking with my password.
it also lags a bit when im activating the keyboard to write a sms..
so i guess i was hoping somebody could guide me in the right direction to get the latest rom update, and how do i do it.
i can see there are some custom roms around...so i have no idea whats the best way to proceed..
ive tried to download the latest rom update from the HTC site but it says that my device is not supported?
i dunno, cause i entered in the serial number located under the battery...
so im hoping somebody here can help me out..
thanks!
subs.
More info...
What's your diamond model number? It's under the battery.
You should look into HardSPL and then check out the official ROM's and Cooked ROM's and make a decision on which one you want to flash your phone with. Read the forum's and how-to's for more info...but first you should work out what version of the diamond you have before you go looking for ROM's...also, always HardSPL before you flash!
Good luck.
under the battery it says
HTC P3700 DIAM100
is that what you are referring to?

yeah, ive been reading that and im slowly starting to understand what i have to do...
i would like to do this rom update on my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423418
so from what i understand i first have to install a unsigned hardspl, any recommendations on which version i should use?
1.23
1.24 or
1.34 ?
i was going to use 1.24 only because i saw somebody post saying they used it and had no problems, but if i should use one of the other ones because it will work better then please let me know.
after doing the hardspl install i was going to backup all my contacts and then do the rom update.
am i missing any steps?
do i have to do a radio update before a rom update?
I use HardSPL 1.40 and had no problems so far so I havent updated it to 1.93.
I would recommend one of the new roms 2.03 (official or cooked, it depends on what you'd like ).

Install hardspl 1.40 or 1.93 (I use 1.93, but didn't have problems in the short time I used 1.40) hardspl and then install any rom you like. Just try to read as much as you can because chances are, any question you have, someone else has had it and it's on the board for you to read.
ok cool, i will install hardspl 1.40 and then that rom i mentioned
at the moment i dont have any questions, i will follow that thread that explains how to update roms and hope for the best
1 last question, i did do a search but didnt really find any definite answers...

if you brick your phone, the only option left is to claim warranty.
And i believe the only step that could possibly brick your phone is flashing HardSPL, right guys?
I was in the same state of anxiety when I did my first ROM flashing. Thankfully it all went smoothly.
My 2 cents :
1, Think about what you are gaining by a ROM upgrade. If your phone is working well out of the box and your routine functions are satisfied, you are well off with you stock ROM. I flashed a couple of ROMs and now I am with my stock and I am perfectly fine.
2, Read this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 and this -> http://www.modmydiamond.info/ And if you understand every single letter of it only proceed.
Happy flashing
i have a diam100. can i flash it to a WWE dutty rom?
thanks for all the help guys, but i decided to flash my htc with the original rom from the htc site.
for the moment it runs like a dream and has fixed all my lag issues.
so im gonna stick with that....for the moment
It's important that you feel comfortable crossing over......but I have to say, when you decide to cross, it's an exhilarating feeling to know that you can select what ever Rom from, what I think are, top notch chiefs here but also the fun continues by selecting which ever Radio.
Many post on here that say, "I bricked my phone," truly didn't brick anything. They just hit a wall so they panic. Hard SPL really does a good job. So the chances of your bricking this device is not as high as some people think..
Hey everyone. I'm kinda new and I admit that I am a complete n00b at all this stuff.
I just got a HTC Touch Diamond and it has Telstra branding and I was wondering if anyone could help me remove it. I've had a look around, but I can't understand anything anyone is saying...what I'm led to believe is that a ROM can remove it, but I have no idea which one to get or how to do it. Can anyone give me step-by-step instructions please??? I'd prefer it was an official ROM or something, but I'm open to ideas.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
mate, I have the same telstra branded diamond. go for the gen.y rom. it is very good. don't stress, follow the instructions in another post. there will be a sticky there. it's a bit daunting but soon you will develop an addiction. reflashing will remove ALL telstra branding.
Just found it-do I get the WWE version?
Just some more questions-is there any way to go back to the original stuff?
And is there any official ROMs that can unbrand?
Looks nice, but where are the instructions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
You need to upgrade to Hardspl to allow the phone to be flashed. Yes WWE (World Wide English) is the version you need. Trust me.... theres no reason to go back to an official ROM.
Sorry I am a bit drunk and not at home so can offer little help at them momento.
Once HardSPL is finished, download the ROM, connect via active synch, run Custom RUU which is bundled in the .rar file with the rom.
Good Luck, but trust me, it's worth it.
Do I need to install a RadioROM?
And just incase of warranty purposes, if I install the original telstra ROM will it go back?
Finally, when I went to go to download HardSPL, there are to zips-Hard SPL Diamond(with the install files) and HardSPL x138 signed(with a NHB file in it). Do I use the x138 signed one??
To Day I Hardspl And Flash New Rom For Touch Pro2 (Modify) That I Found In This Forum And I Notice After I Flash That Rom Build For Tilt2 (The Phone Signal Not Stable A Problem With Ram And Weird Problem About Hardware Keyboard ).
After I Use It And I Decide To Change To Another Modify Rom. I Found That I Can't Flash Rom. And Spl Change To New (Not Olinex).
I Try To Flash Olinex Again And Notworking (Device Not Responding Error In Flash Process)
I Try To Flash Stock Spl. And That No Luck It's Same Problem
I Worry About My Phone Are Not Able To Flash Again (I Have Bricked Nokia E90 And Feel Sad Before) And I Prepare To Sent To Htc Service But I Found The Way To Flash By Accident
To Make Phone Flash Able
1. I Have Flash New Windows Mobile For Touch Pro2 (S2) From Htc Website That Have The Same Spl. After That I Feel Happy That I Can Flash Official Rom And Hardreset After That.
2. I Downgrade By Flash Official Windows Mobile From Htc Spl 0.87 And Hardreset After That
3. I Can Flash Olinex Spl And Happy To Flash ModifyRom Again.
Sorry For My Bad English. And Anyone Who Have Easier way To Solve This Problem Please Guide
Hope This Information Useful To Anotheruser

Welcome to forums
I´m not sure if understood your problem, hope I do.
I would suggest to re flash again following instructions from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
Normally a cooked ROM should work even better/faster than any original ROM.
Hope it helped and good luck,
And don´t forget to vote!
Does the new hardspl include a overwrite protection freature? meaning that a new hardspl can't overwrite it?
