B&B v4 after O2 WM6 upgrade READ FIRST!!!

If Anyone has applied the WM6 update from O2 to their Orbit, you may find that you need to downgrade back to WM5 before installing B&B v4 ROM. The reason is the USPL that is updated. After flashing O2 ROM the USPL is updated to 3.something. When running the USPL program the SPL number changes to 1.11.0000. This does not happen after O2 upgrade.
So far only way to remedy this is to flash back to WM5, re-flash USPL and then flash new ROM.

And where do i get the "old" WM5-O2-Rom for my Orbit?
Thanx!

Thanks CoolGadget - that was fast.
1 more question for a newbie like me:
-I own the german version of the O2-Orbit - does this make a difference?
Cheers

Before everyone who's done the update to WM6 goes down this road, try this.
1. Make sure you're using a Windows XP PC!!
2. hard reset.
3. perform basic setup as normal.
4. soft reset.
5. apply uspl.
6. flash with B&B 4.
I had the offical WM6 ROM on mine, and actually just soft reset it, applies USPL and flashed and didn't have a single problem.

What is USPL?
OK this is a really stupid question, but what is a uspl?

Thanks for this tip,
it worked perfectly for me.
I unlocked my Orbit with C3v2Unlock from Imei Check (and of course my .unl key), prior to USPL Flash, but I'm not sure if it was necessary as USPL makes your phone SuperCID temporarily.
Anyway thanks again,
B&B 4.0 rocks !!

...or simply click the only sticky post in this forum...

1. To all members I would always recommend running USPL first before downgrading rom - if the spl no's change then it worked and you can flash another rom. (it worked on my orbit after flashing official o2 wm6 rom)
2. After supercid unlock from imei check - your device is permanently cid unlocked no matter what rom you flash - there is no need to run cid unlock again or uspl.
Shand if poss can you update your post as members will end up confused - if you doubt the info its here on the forum - read posts from faria and others.

I had o2 WM6 and I just flashed with uspl and then B&B 4.0, didn't need to downgrade back to wm5.

Just did a friends orbit, had no problems either.

I just did my XDA Orbit. Downgraded to the official 02 WM5 (as I'd installed the new 02 WM6 official version), ran the USPL and installed the new version. It's so sweet!
Also, I did mine using Vista - no probs. Just make sure you have old active sync drivers installed for Bootloader mode. Ask if you're unsure.
Actually while I'm here, I can see I can overclock the CPU. What's the maxium I can take it to, (safely)?

How to flash SPL 2.03

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

Welcome to the Diamond community!
I think your friend said: "prevent the phone becomes a brick.." and he was referring to the OliNex Signed HardSPL if I am not mistaken.
Well, don't be complacent though... when you are new you just got to READ, READ AND MORE READ..

P3600 or P3700?
P3600 is trinity
P3700 is diamond
this is diamond forum.

yeah, I'm also new to using WM Devices, doing a lot of heavy reading coz just want to tweak my Diamond just the way I like it. There's a lot of infos here & thank you all for contributing

My phone is P3700, I used P3600 before....

which rom update to get? current version 1.37.707.1 WWE

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 i brick my phone *touch wood i dont*
will it be difficult to unbrick it?

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..

WM 5.0 for Hermes?

I searched all forums but I cant find WM 5.0 for Hermes?
I have MDA Vario 2 now, and do not need anything spectacular than WM 5.0, only important thing is ENGLISH version
One more question-is flashing same as for WM 6.0?If it is, how about putting official ROM WWE 838Pro HK?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316726
Is this only procedure, as I see? Just to confirm, more than 50 flashed devices but Hermes for the first time ;-)
1. Download and do Hard SPL V7

2. Download and flash ROM

Tnx, Danke, Grazie, Hvala!

well there is no wm5 for hermes.. in my knowledge cause hermes was shipped with wm6 by default...
Yes all te procedures are correct..
BTW BEFORE!!!! you flash a new rom please please please flash the stripped Att original radio rom wm6 ok? ciao
PD you can found the stripped rom on every thread about rom development...
Good luck!.

Thanks man, now I see it is WM 6
I did not understand this- do you suggests me to put AT&T ROM or to find only radio ROM and flash??
Is it possible to have problems with Hermes after upgrading only thi WWE ROM?
Same procedure for flashing or??? Cos' i found hundred of threds on this theme...

nonono
if you flash that WM6 ithink is fine cause it seems to be original...
but if you want to flash a custom.. i mean a cooked rom
you must to flash before the att stripped.
yes is the same procedure.

OK
I need only stable ROM, just to work fine on this PDA, not cooked...yet ;-)
Tnx man!

no problem man!
good luck
this thread can be erased cause even it must be on upgrading forum... was solved
Any mod please.

OK, if its possible to move or erase in total, no needed any more. My mistake during posting, i was reading WM 6 and put it occasionaly

Actually, most Hermes CAME with WM05... It was just that after WM06 came out the carriers upgraded them to that. If you look hard enough you MIGHT find WM05 but it wasn't as stable as WM06 so wasn't maintained. I know I got rid of my old WM05 roms... If you want an old WM05, look for Jasjammin's Black Magic... Was a brilliant rom in its time...
Cheers....

Nice to know that man Thanks!

Actually, I still have a copy of at&t's wm5!
