Can anyone can help me pls and can you give me the best setting for my Diamond like the newest ROM, RADIO and good useful sofwares... Thanks
There are some stickies regarding CID unlocking/Hard SPL your device (is not the same as SIM unlocking..)
Read those carefully and then choose an appropriate ROM.

I tried downloading the newest HTC ROM update---says my device is not supported for this update. ???????
I downloaded the file using a provided serial in another thread for the WWE version.
Can I use this file to flash my rom????
My diamond is an UNBRANDED and UNLOCKED version. I assume its a UK or US version. I use it with my ATT&T sim card.
It's a 1.93.422.4 WWE currently...
Any reason this 2.03 rom WONT work for me?
Can I use it?
I started the flash process just to see if it would give me an error or incompatible message and it did not. It was ready to install.
Any thoughts?
thanks
Man,
You really need to read the wiki and this thread.
Not meaning to sound rude - but your questions are answered thoroughly, providing the information you need to understand before flashing your device.
wow man, that was SO INSIGHTFUL.... thanks
I have flashed MANY phones, many times. I am very aware of how to do it and Yes I have read that page.
I am just trying to see IF ANYONE KNEW offhand if that new WWE ROM would work over my existing ROM without bricking it.
but thanks
If you got it off the Diamond page and know it's a Diamond ROM for sure, then you can flash it. If you don't know where you go it or have no idea for which device it came for, it has to be ported.

Hi All,

I downloaded the new realeased ROM from HTC Website however when i am updating, it goes till 1% and says "invalid model id". I have some stupid Dutty's rom on my phone i want the original HTC rom. Please help me getting this.
hi there, welcome to xda-dev,
Take a lookie at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425 and after that check out here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
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.
Hi there
I've buyed a Diamond locked by orange. Now I like to unlock it and install a custom rom.
I was going through the forum but I found too much and different articels that I decided to create a new thread.
So the question is:
What do I have to do to get my sim-locked phone ready for flashing a custom rom?
Thanks for the answers.

You DO NOT need to SIM unlock your phone to use a custom ROM.
You DO need to install HardSPL to your phone before you can use custom ROM, you only need to HardSPL once.
There is much information in the sticks posts at the top of the ROM section that will tell all you need to know about HardSPL and ROM flashing.
welcome to XDA
Thanks! this has just helped me aswell
good luck with journey to worl of rom`s
Here's additional NOOP question. Do you need to CID unlock the Diamond AND HardSPL to use cooked ROM's? Or is HardSPL enough?
Thanks!

If you mean, do you have to change the CID, the answer is no as HardSPL means that CID is not checked.
Verizon Rhodium "newbie" quesiton please help (unlocking). I have unlocked the SIM
Sorry if my question is too stupid but here it is:
I own a verizon branded HTC touch pro 2. (Rhodium) I ask verizon for the sim unlock code and they provide me with one. Im now able to put in my at&t card and use it, it works..
My question is: does this mean my phone is fully unlocked?.
can I know install all this great roms I see around, worry free?
or is there something else that has to be done in order to install the cooked roms.
if can install the roms and you can provide me with first time steps as well it would be greatly appriciated.
I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure unlocking the SIM is separate from unlocking the phone (HardSPL and allowing unsigned firmware).
if this is correct could someone please explain or post a link as to what HardSPL is . and perhaps where there is a step by step guide on what I need to do in order to install roms
thanks a bunch.
I don't think there's a HardSPL for CDMA phones yet (don't hold me to that), but the ROM development sub-forum is where you want to go. Read the stickies there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490
HardSPL for CDMA (Verizon, Sprint) is not out yet.
You can not flash ROMs at this time. Well, you can try... and end up with a bricked phone, but that's totally your call.
thanks everyone.
Hello everyone. I am new to posting. This is my first so please forgive my mistakes. I have used the search function and havent found a related thread so posting a new one.
Iv just bought a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. I want to install a stock HTC ROM on my device. Can someone please help me with the steps? Before that I need to know whether I can flash a stock HTC ROM on a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. And would it be safe?
Once again I ask for forgiveness if Iv been ignorant as I'm new to XDA, and would like to thank all you experts for your comments.
Please help
I have the same setup as you; a T-mobile TP2 running a stock HTC ROM. Flash a hard spl (search the forums) and you can flash any other room. Simple as ABC. Trust me.
Thank you so much for your help.
But I have a few more questions:
1. How has your experience been? Is the stock ROM faster than the T-mobile ROM?
2. Can I flash a stock WM 6.5 ROM on my device currently?
I would be glad if you clarified these few things as I have never flashed before.
You can flash an official upgrade without unlocking. You only need to unlock to use custom ROMs you will find on the forums.
And IMO if you are looking for stability, stock is the way to go. T-Mobile USA official 6.5 ROM is very stable. However if you want all the latest features of Sense and Windows Mobile, you will want to look at some custom ROMs. Here is a guide to get you started flashing custom ROMs:

I put a stock HTC rom on my tmo touch pro 2 and its great. And so easy to do.
Thank you for your help.
And I have one more query. HTC asks me for my TP2's serial number and when I provide it, it obviously says download not suitable because I am trying to download stock HTC rom with a T Mobile serial number. Then is it safe to flash a new stock HTC rom that i got from XDA without a serial number?
Flashed my tmobile tp2 to wm6.5 stock htc rom!
Thanks to all you greats I dared a flash for the first time in my life and succeeded. WM 6.5 is simply awesome!
Just one small issue I have now. Since its a TMobile Touch Pro 2, my hardware keyboard is structured a little differently. It has ctlr key in place of the FN key as in the retail Touch Pro 2. So now my Ctrl key functions as FN key, and my Alt key functions as Ctrl key. Id be really glad if you helped me out with remapping the two keys.
See the sticky on the front page of the forum about the TMO US keyboard fix.
???
what is the sn for htc 6.5 stock rom
Serial Number
If u go for a download of the stock ROM on the website, it will ask u for a serial number, Instead search XDA for Stock ROMs. Download the appropriate ROM.

Where did you find stock ROM?
I tried one fromhtc.com and it says that ROM is not for my S/N
Here you go!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/Shipped_Roms
Just select the one suitable for you and download. Which device do you want to flash?
