Hi all, new to all this.
I have spent the last 6 days scanning the forums and wiki about upgrading to the offical rom for the trinity to WM6.
I have tried super cid and sim unlocks as well as Hard SPL and many other tricks and advice from users.
None of them seem to work.
Does anyone have a real idea (a proper technical answer) as to why the progress stops @ 28% on this update and not on any of the cooked roms?
I would really appreciate some help on this.....
Thanks all

I know, but I have been using this for Six day's and tried all avenues. The reason to ask here is one of frustration.
But thanks anyhow....
my guess is something about the ipl or spl, since after you remove those and put it in a modified RUU it works..

OK I am completely stupid. Can anyone point me in the correct direction on how to modify RUU files.
Please please please...
I have the following in the bootloader menu
IPL-1.00
SPL-1.30.Olipro
Should I be able to load the official WM6 rom from HTC?
yeah, technically...
why don't you try the official rom without SPL?

First flash hard spl before flashing this rom!

And dont hold me responsible if this update fails for you.
It worked fine for me.
Spl and Ipl are removed , and splash screens changed to htc screens.
Thats all , so it still has latest radio and extrom.
I advise you to soft reset when you first boot your trin and see the screen that says customization will start in 3 seconds.

If you had truly read the wiki then you would understand that the imate brought out the 1.54.30.10 radio with the latest ROM upgrade here
Release thread was here. Now do a careful upgrade and report what's it like in Pakistan
allow me to help because it seems like you've gotten lost in translation and this is getting out of hand.
if you flashed your Black Satin rom then you obliviously know what you're doing to some degree. in regards to your radio rom question: flashing a radio rom does not effect the OS rom you have (black satin). the only thing flashing the radio rom does effect is your phones cellular radio, i.e., your carrier signal strength, data connection speed. since im in Philadelphia i cant really help you decide on which radio will work best in your area. i can only point you here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
these are the known radio roms available for the Hermes. at best, i can say start with 1.47.XX and see what works best for your area. good luck to you.
Thunda i also read that page. .. . no wheres it written which rom is for which part of the world ?
Shd i download the last (latest ) one ,, , ?

Hmm ... I am in New Zealand, and I am testing the latest radio rom, and it is working well, what works well for one country may not work for others, I would stick to the one the manufacturer's made for you. It is good for you to flash a shipped rom for your device first then any other rom you wish to keep after that. FYI I have an imate jasjam and I am running the latest radio, but doesn't mean that you should too.

If there isn't a Radio produced by a carrier in Pakistan then you are going to have to try a few Radios to see which one is best for you. Please use a MicroSD card to update your Radio as we don't want your next thread title to be "Please help, I bricked my phone".

try 1.54 or 1.48 radio. 1.54 is the orginal shipped radio for 8525 wm6 from at&t/cingular. i remember using that one in India, and it worked just fine for me.

As mentioned by some of the great members like Wam7, Zocster, and thunda_chunky, read as much as you can before flashing a new radio ROM. So much of what goes on here is trial and error. All you can do is try to eliminate the error. I am running the same radio as Zocster, 1.56.70.11, and it holds the highest signal strength of any previous radio I've had. That doesn't mean it will for you depending on your carrier and location.
mikehippe, Agreed, I'm trying out 1.56.70.11 on my jasjam and though others say its awesome, I'm not too impressed by it here in Oz... Oh well, back to 1.54.30.10.....

Hi Guys,
Great forum, i just wanna ask a probably annoying question lol.
Im in Australia with a Touch Diamond, I have SPL-1.40.OliNex installed and i just want to know which Radio and Rom to use in my Country.
Any Help will be appreciated.
Thanks Guys
please refer to the radio topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306
keep in mind though, if you want to flash radio from different devices (listed in the link above), your device must be Security-Unlocked (which is different from HardSPL).
I dont have to use a SU Radio do i?
Does anyone have any information regarding which Non SU Radio to use or if i dont need to change my current one i wont, but i would like to change the Rom, which Rom would i use in Australia? Is it neccesary to change the Radio?

Make sure you are Hard SPL before flashing anything. Regardless of where you are in the world, you can select any cooked ROM.
As far as Radio is concern, reception performance and battery consumption is dependent on location so I would advise trying and testing different radios. Just stick to the Radio's located in POST #2 as they don't require you to be Security Unlocked........http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306
Thanks alot, Yeh im Hard SPL, and am playing with a few Roms now, one other thing though i was going to put the latest radio on, but it was a way earlier version then i have currently
This......Radio v1.11.25.01 (Quad Band)(52.58.25.30H) (NEW) is the latest version. Which radio do u have now?
I'm a total noob so please bear with me...
Does the country you're in matter when selecting a radio version? Or can you just apply a radio upgrade regardless of where you are..
edit: ok, ive finished reading the diamond radio thread. i can see that you can only go by people's reports of how it goes for them in their region...

u got it.
You can Flash any Radio, but some have better GPS/WiFi/Signal/Battery than others.
i personally use 1.00.25.05 - as i get good signal and good battery. It is a older Radio tho, and dont tend to change much
Another question - If the Radio I have right now is working perfectly well - I shouldn't need to upgrade it if I flash a new Rom, right?

it depends on if the ROM includes a Radio or not, if the ROM does, then just flash the old radio back on it
remember - its always a good idea to do a Hard Reset after flashing a new ROM
Hi All,
Please help me getting a ROM for my HTC Touch Diamond i bought it on eBay. I checked with HTC people they said my phone is US based.

Also a good way to check to see what version of the diamond you have is, the US version has no front camera, but the EU version does ^^
I dont think kboots deserves any help here.
he's way too lazy to search around, and call Dutty's rom stupid.
Sorry imatrix but didnt mean it. I am so frustrated with the duttys version, it doesnt allow me to do anything with my phone. Gets hang everytime, weather doesnt work. Sorry about that, i did lot of research on the same thats the reason im here now. Thanks Abiscas for your reply, ill follow your steps and would let you know how it goes.

Hi, seeing how you have dutys rom on your phone, its safe to day you have HardSPL on your phone, but before you start flashing other stuff, check in here, press VOLUME DOWN + RESET and it will take you into the bootloader, when you are in there it should say which HardSPL you have, and also which version of the diamond you have india or US but doesnt matter really, after you check your bootloader and what not and your diamond version which should be DIAM110 you can go here http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=2&dl_id=483 and enter your SN behind the batter pack to download HTC stock diamond rom.
hello guys
i have the HTC Touch Diamond (p3700) from rogers, and i was wondering since the phone is locked to the rogers network, is it possible for me to install a custom rom on the phone?? or do i have to do the sim unlock to do that??
sorry, this might be a noob question but i need the question answered as i had the O2 Xda Mini S before my HTC which was unlocked and this is the first time i actually purchased a phone from rogers since i get all my phones from out canada
thanks for your help guys, really appreciate it
i have a rogers HTC diamond as well.. and its got the winmob 6.1 5.2.19965 build 1.2.3 Year 2008.. the HTC website doesnt let me download the feb 2009 firmware as the device is not suitable..
a few simple Noob questions please..
1 - its working in my country with other network sims, all of them but the phone strartup says rogers... is my cell unlocked or not?
2 - will Hard Spl remove everytrace of rogers from my phone? (i actually wana debrand it from rogers to plain standard retail version)..
3 - Will any firmare upgrade using hardspl method work on my cell?.. and what will happen to the orignal FW? will it be erased permanently, or will it still be stored in a secret storage, so that it can be retrieved later when i plan to sell it later and rest to factory defaults?
Again, as a newcomer and a noob at the Xda dev scene, i would apreciate any kind of help .
thanks in anticipation..

Hi,
As far as I know, you should be able to install any ROM you want.
But make sure you have flashed Hard-SPL Olinex Unsigned,
just try the link in my sig and follow steps 6 - 11.
You still need an unlocker to make it possible using other networks though.

1. Yes your phone is unlocked, but you are using a rogers customized ROM. Try a different ROM to remove it.
2. No, Hard-SPL will not remove it. You'll need to flash another ROM to do that.
3. Firstly, if you are flashing/upgrading a new firmware (we call it ROM) then all data will permanently removed.
There are some packs to revert your ROM back to stock, but I don't know if there are any Rogers ROM's available on the net.
I hope I have answered all your questions.
Good luck both!

Thanks a lot Elcondor.. it solved half of my problems..
the only thing is,, i tried the 6.5 Prototype rom and rogers sill show up on the startup screen.. i flashed the splash screen, and still the lower 100pixels appear pink, out of no where..
and i simply wana DEBRAND the whole **** of rogers from it, so that i can upgrade the 2.0.0.00 rom version to the HTC official 2.0.43 version, but evertime i download from there, and try updating it, it says, Model ID not compatible..

No, it shouldn't brick your phone. In fact, Hard-SPL makes your device hardly brickable. Just try it, you will not be dissapointed. But, it's not my responsabillity if you brick you diamond, keep that in mind.

The splash screen is a harder part to do. You need Patchsplash to patch your splash screen. In that way, the splash screen should appear right. Note that the procedure to do that is pretty hard. Here are some more instructions if you didn't get it.
And about a Diamond stock ROM, take a look here. A 2.03.4 ROM including a new radio and the splash screen.
Good luck guys!

No prob my friend, xda-devs is to help each other.
To recommend a ROM is pretty hard, since there are very different kind of ROMs available.
Do you want a ROM with full Diamond2 experience, without WM 6.5(.x) try Gen. Y D2 R4.
Or, do you prefer a light WM6.5(.x) ROM, try BSB 6.5.1. It is pretty fast and light.
In a short time, I am going to release a 6.5.1 ROM (called Condor GT), with very nice graphics and still very fast.
Just give some a shot and you'll soon find out which ROM is the best.
BTW All the ROMS given in this thread are better that stock ROMs, just to be clear
