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.

Dear All,
I spent a lot of hours, days, reading the posts on the forum about the Universal and upgrading it. I didn't find some answers.
I still have some open questions that I request your help in order to have a safe upgrade.
I have a Qtek 9000, that is SimLock.
I would like to Upgrade to an AKU 3.5 ROM or to one Crossbow ROM ( still under assessment)
Now my questions:
To upgrade,
I will have to upgrade bootloader, because since Aku 3.2 Rom , it needs to be 1.01. That is clear.
Edit: Opsss tried bottloader for first time and my version is 2.01 So no bootloader upgrade, but new question:
Sim Unlock works with bootloader 2.01?
1 - Do I need to SIMUNLOCK before ROM or Radio ROM upgrade? If yes:
- I will need an oficial radio ROM. Which one? Are 1.13 or 1.14 is OK?
- Must I first Simunlock and only after upgrade the bootloader?
2 -Country Code error, what is it? (Solved)
Edit : About Country error, no specific answer, but i got almost what I looked for.
Thx you all for the hard work and colaboration on this site.
Cheers
TADAA... answers
I'm afraid you didnt took your best sshot at searching, cuz 3 or 4 post above yours is a topic called "problems with upgrading?"
in this topic you will find the info AND tools you need to succesfully upgrade..
I don't know about the simlock thing, i flashed mine with the simlock on, to a cooked rom, and it works, but don't blame me if it F*CKS up your mobile i suggest that you do a bit of research in that part..
Country id error:
You get that when you try to install a rom that is from a different manufacturer/country then yours, to solve this problem look at this link
(the link to the forementioned topic)

I know how to solve the country error, I just would like to get more info about it.
About the other post, I will look for it, but when i made search ( last time was the last week) I didn't find the answers i look for.
Since I looked and didn't find it could you please provide a link? ( sorry)
Thx for your help.
Hi,
1. I agree with bastiaanoskam cause I think almost any question about upgrading the Universal has been answered before in this forum.
2. I don't see the need to unlock your device if you don't want to change your current provider.
3. As far as I understand the country error is due to a change in the original language for which your device was thought (look for MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe) i.e. you have a Japanese device and want to upgrade to WWE version.
4. About the bootloader, I just saw one ROM that is said it requires to upgrade your bootloader to 1.01, it was a preview AKU3.2 from i-mate but I don't really know if the upgrade is really needed. I have read it's not needed for Crossbow and also for custom cooked AKU3.5 but again every new cooked ROM usually has a thread so you can find answers there.

1 - I do agree that there is a lot of info about the upgrade process, I just didn't find the answer for what I'm looking for.
2 - I didn't find a post where is stated that the device should be unlock to install the new ROM, but I also din't find the oposite, so my doubt.
3 - It seems that I should try first and if I get the error, go for the alternative method. I woul like to jump this step, but if there isn't other way, well, that's life
4 - Maybe it's a bad interpretation on my side of the wiki post. Porbably only some I-mate based roms need the bottloader upgrade.
thx for the help
Dear All,
I wonder if someone can give me a definitive answer, I've read posts saying that if you want to use another vendors ROM then you have to unlock first as in the old days but I have also read that the following ROM installs straight off without unlocking.
I have downloaded the following from HTC SEA site: RUU_Artemis_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.7.707.1_4.1.13.30_02.69.90_Ship.exe and would like to install it without bricking my phone! As it is a legit ROM I'm happy to give it a go but I thought I'd check here first.
Many thanks
Alex
You still have to unlock using USPL.
The only ROM's you can flash without unlocking would be UK T-Mobile ones, because they will match your CID lock.

What phone do you have?
And anybody tried it...
I received my tilt with the att rom installed but after trying to use the installer to change my rom to this HTC rom
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship
it tells me it cannot complete the update with invalid id error?
am i doing something wrong perhaps using the wrong version of the HTC rom?
originally i did a hard reset stopping the att rom from loading, so is this my problem?
the image version on my phone is 1.57.502.2
ive looked through the forum and i dont really see any easy way of changing out roms on the tilt, any chance for dummy/noob instructions lol?
thanks for any help.
I also have the Tilt...I would like to change my rom to the htc rom as well. I have no idea how to though. lol Can't wait for instructions...

HardSPL FIRST!!!!
Then flash one of many ROMs
hi all,
i'm pretty new at this rom stuff. i want to speed up my diamond but i don't know how to upgrade my rom and stuff. could someone be kind enough to tell me how to do this?
my rom version is 1.34.831.1 WWE
First you need to download the Hard spl from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
Its the second post down with the CAB file attached....for gods sake please the instructions given as we wont be held responsible if you brick your phone.
Once you have done that then download any of the roms here in this forum, the best one i would say is the TLR rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=404626
Download that but run it after you have installed hard_spl on your phone. Once you have installed hard spl then you can flash to any rom you like. Again i stress read the instructions given in both threads so that you dont mess your phone up.
Good luck.
thanks a lot,
i went to the download for the hard spl, should i download the signed version?
If you do download the signed version then you need to download the signed version of the rom your after. Only difference between signed and unsigned is that signed are safer but ive updated my rom twice with unsigned roms and they work perfectly well. Havent had any problems so far when running TLRs roms.
how do i know if the rom is signed?
also, what's the difference between the TLR rom and the elite roms i've been reading about?
thanks

Because the person who posts up the rom will say its signed or not...or you could pm them to ask them.
As for the differences??...you need to read each rom thread that your considering to flash to and find out yourself what the difference is. I havent flashed mine to the Elite one but the TLR rom im using is pretty fast and also gives you the option to remove TF3D if you want to...frees up alot of memory if you do so...thats one of the bigger differences there.
I dont know much abouyt the Elite rom as i havent flashed to that one.
thanks man
Hi,
I've got a stock Orange Touch Diamond running the latest Official Orange Rom, 1.97. I badly want 2.03 for the fixes and tweaks that have been made!!
I'm planning on using the Generic 2.03.401.3 that is available from the HTC site. Has anyone already flashed this on top of the branded Orange ROM, did you come across any problems?
The phone already has HardSPL, not sure what version though.
I'm doing a full backup of all contacts/data. Is there anything else that I should do just in case??
Thanks in advance
Rob
lol, has anyone got an experience of this?
Best way is to try it and see. If you have any problems flash back to the original again.
There are plenty of 2.03 ROM's out there with even more fixes and tweaks to make them stable.
In my opinion the 2.07 is the most stable out there at the moment.
Have a look around and see what suits you best.
Will give it a go tonight and post back my findings...
Plenty of guides etc within here that you can use..................However..
I have just done this myself and this is the process I followed;-
Install HardSPL, now it is 1.40.Olinex
Used a working serial to get the latest ROM update from HTC site
Ran the updater and that was it..
As it's been said, all the info you need is on the first page of the ROM forum so have a look and go from there

Thanks for the info Trixster!
I've had 3 HTC phones, M500, M3100 and now the TD and I've changed the roms on all of them. I did get problems with the M500 as I used an Orange Swiss Rom. I've just never used a none operator supplied rom before so was just a bit apprehensive and wanted to know if anyone else had done it.
Will post the results here...
Upgrade was totally painless. Don't know what i was worried about.
GPS works a little bit faster, but not much in it.
The new 'g sensor' calibration is useful though.
Has anyone got a link to the latest stock ROM. Would be much appreciated. I've been searching for almost an hour straight.
Thanks in advance...
@nuke1, if you're talking about a stock 2.07 ROM, then I'm in the same boat. Anybody got a link?
