Okay, before you flame me for not looking, I did look. I looked on the Wiki, I googled it, etc.
***MY PHONE HAS NO CAMERA BUTTON***
All the guides say hold down the camera button, what do I do when my model doesn't have one?
Have you tried MTTY?
Hey Xenerox sorry i cant be online yesterday but....
As Red Hanks told you you must to try the Mtty method to hardreset your device... this erase Eeeeeeverything so you need the rom you want to upgrade again... I know you have donde it... or am I lost?
On this thread says that on vista works so I know you have vista try it....
But if you have the XP it goes fine Thats for sure... With the Roms provided on the wiki wizard to upgrade of course!
here is the link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452921
If you want to Hardreset with this follow the post 8... read carefully... the steps I use once a long time ago was from step 10 to the end...
Hope it works for you... Oh! charge your batt at full please this tooks longer enough.

Hi,
Today I'm trying to update my T-Mob Vario 2. I want to put a new ROM on it. Anyway, I read it's better to upgrade using an SD card instead of using USB.
I don't know if the updating process really succeeded. When the bootloader says: "Update complete". What do I have to do? A soft reset? Or what?
I tried to install Hard SPL v7 and I want to check if it's really installed. What's the best way to check this?
Thanks!
(and yes, I've read the FAQ/Wiki)

if you read the wiki you would know how to SPL on your hermes go back and read some more!
Ah, mrvanx's guide didn't work for the last 2 hours but it's working right now. I'll read some more over there.
But my real question was: What do you do when your device says: "Update complete". A soft-reset?
it will soft reset itself and u'll get the "tap screen to start" screen...
you can check yr spl by going into bootloader mode (hold the power and OK button below the scroll wheel and poke the stylus into the soft-reset hole and hold it there for a while).. to exit just poke yr stylus into the hole again..
that didn't sound quite right hahaha!

yup. it should auto SR, but if it doesn't, help it along
Nice!
I needed an hour of 5 to read some stuff and to unlock my device, make it Hard SPL and put Black 3 on it
(Yeah, for the first time )
Thanks XDA Community!
does anyone actually see a big difference between the roms as we keep flashing, i've flashed like 8 or so roms, and the only things i see different are from wm5 to wm6.....
just seeing how every1 else feels towards it and whether i should keep playing w/ it over and over...
btw... does anyone know why my wm6 always goes to the today screen after i wake it up again? it's not the today timeout option under settings.... so yeah... i thought a registry edit may have something to do it
I always upgrade from SD (seem faster than USB) and it never auto-softresets, so I manually do it with stylus. Never had problems.
Hi, i have been trying for the last month and a half to try another rom on my hermes,but it seems i can't.
i have flashed many Roms and i never had a problem in doing that till the las time when i tried to flash into the new S64.
every time i try flashing into any new rom it rejects me by giving me the (ERROR 260) telling me i'm not connected and the USB cardle thing, but all of my connections are correct and my ActiveShyn is up to date and i was always flashing roms in the same way.
Some seniors here when i have mentioned that told me that it seems i have flashed or reflashed the Hardspl, so i'm trying to reflash the Hardspl, i have tried endless times but it keeps telling me the same althought i have downloaded almost every hardspl that is available in the xda site lol.
what i'm requesting please if possible to direct me in the steps that i need to make my hermes functional again please i'm sure u understand what i'm saying.
some have mentioned that cause i still have the
herm100 i can't flash it into another roms but that sounds a bit strange lol.
I know that i have still herm100 (old) and my ipl-1.01
and spl-1.06 but i think that dosn't matter in my opinion.
Please i request if u can help me in fixing my problem by providing me the steps by simple words and if you have a fresh zips of hardspl coz i'm so confused which one to use, it would be nice to hear how to do it step by step.
i really need your support and excuse me if i'm bothering u with this kind of request but i didn't know where else to go and ask.
My Current rom is the HTC_Hermes_S64_WM_6[1].1_HTC_WWE_v2_30.03.2008 which is old and i would like to refresh my phone by a new version.
i was thinking of the new HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_ WWE v3 / GER v1 but i don't know if it would work on my herm100 cause i was told it was designed for herm200 and abouve is that true?
If not well there are so many more roms out there i would like to try but i'm stuck for the moment.
please again i wouldn't have bothered u with my request if i wasn't facing this problem.
thank u a lot and i hope to hear soon from u commrade.
Dayhauck.
have you tried to manually go into the bootloader and flash? You don't need activesync to flash like that if you're connected with USB. Also, from your SD card. Both have worked for me in the past.
Though you should have Hard SPL installed if you want to use the sd card method.
i have tried to do it manualy but i not much of a luck in loading the Hard SPL.
I really don't know what to do. i can't even f;ash to the original htc rom .
what else can i do?
1. Check your usb cable.
2. Try different USB ports in ur PC,
3. Check if the mini USB in Hermes is not damaged.
4. Check the bootloader if you have HardSPL installed.
5. Try SD method,
6. Read the wiki.
check out post 1160 on page 116 of this thread for sd card method for Hard SPL V7 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...
I had the same problem. If you can activesync with the cable then all you need to do as already mentioned above.
With the phone attached manually go into bootloader (hold on/off on right of phone and 'ok' on the left of phone both in while you prod the phone reset at the bottom of the device).
When you have the multicoloured boot loader run the update and it should work fine.
Hope this is some hepl
hii
i got the following problem: i usually uses a custom rom but now i got a stock rom. i flashed 7 roms last 2 days for the following reason: after i installed a rom (i have hard spl1.40) the rom works perfectly but when i go and install my cabs theres gonna be a problem: the cab will install, i can play around for some 15 minutes with my diamond and then the phone freezes and i need to do a soft reset. NOW the diamond stuck at the diamond screen with red letters. i can do a hard reset etc. but this is very annoying!! please help me! it happenend with ezinput cab too. i dont know why it happens!! heeeeeelp xD!
EDIT: the small cabs from small size works perfectly but it are mostly big cabs like ezinput etc..
sounds like your device in in desperate need of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290&highlight=mtty
If you perform mtty (which is basically a format tool) before flashing any rom most of this weird problems disappear.
but i dont understand mtty its sooo hard.
and it even happens with an stock rom (official)
isnt that weird?
i was very resistent to use mtty too, cuz i thought it was so complicated i couldn't get my head around it. But after i had to give it a try (i screwed up someone elses diamond very bad ), i found out it wasn't as hard as i thought, just read carefully and keep in mind that it is only a tool to format your device so you can perform a fresh install on it (in puter terms...format C drive and install Windows).
Mtty even reports back that it tries to erase bad blocks, just like checkdisk from Windows does
The fact that it happens now with a stock rom is not that weird, cuz your 'Cdrive' is 'outta shape' (cuz of flashing different roms of different sizes taking up different spaces)., and really needs to be formatted.
Give it a go...your device is practically useless now to so whata you gotta loose...lol...no, sorry just a joke!
heey man. i did mtty and it was sooo easy eheh. i did it.
i finished all the mtty stuff and i flashed a new rom.
i am now going to install all my cabs xD.
But what do i have to do if it didnt worked?
i just flashed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506533
did someone used it too?
gave it problems??
thanks nirak
EDIT: I THINK ITS SOLVED!! BUT IM NOT SURE YET! if there is appearing a problem again i wil post it here!!
THANKS TO NIRAK AND MYSTICGENIUS FOR THE MTTY **** xD
PS: Nirak can i have your msn? im dutch too^^
hehe...glad it worked out!
well, at first glance the bug report of this rom looks very promising , haven't had this one on my diamond, but makereval is an old (as in experienced) cook, so i wouldn't worry to much.
btw...if mtty would have given an error this community would have helped you out, esp MysticGenius (owner of mtty thread) is the 'god of mtty' and always willing to help if you get stuck.
Nevertheless there's always a small change that we (as in noobs...lol...) brick our device so we have to send it to diamonds heaven...but he...what's life without a thrill every now and then
hehe ok,
can i have your msn?^^
first ,i hope i placed this in the good topic.
if not,my excuses i didnt know where to place this other then here.
i searched for this question but could not find the answer.
my question ,offcourse you always do a hard spl before flashing a rom.
but if you have the rom 1 week and you want another rom on the htc,
do you have to do a hard spl again or not?
Just do it once.
as already said - once is enough, but MTTY always... recommended for Diamond...
Ive never used MTTY (and ive flashed over 20 times) I cant see why people use it over the DiamondRUU.exe program..

thnx people.

i shall do the mtty in the next time.
thnx for the tips!

MTTY is pretty much formatting the phone to be prepared to flash, not the software that actually flashes the phone. I'm assuming you dont hard reset after flashing aswell ?
Hi all, for all the people like me who do not have the patience or knowledge do adventure themselves in the mitty thread.
This program already exists for X1, HD2, TP2 (for what I know) and I have tested it and it works.
After some search on this forum I have talked to agent_47, who was kind enough to make a task29 program for our HTC Diamonds (GSM version).
Agent_47 or me do not take any responsibility for ay damage done to your device. Use it at your own risk, and only after you have HSPL already installed on your device.
Do not know what a HSPL is, check here:

now we can mtty our "HTC Diamond" without having the need of MTTY and its drivers
INSTRUCTIONS:
- download and unzip
- run then ROMUpdateUtility.exe and wait for it to finish.....
- device will reboot but will neva go past the bootscreen coz there is no OS to boot
- take our batti and then flash a rom using mSD card or by taking device into bootloader and using customRUU to load ur favorite ROM

WHATS TASK29\MTTY
when u flash a rom, you are copying files onto the internal memory (like duh!) but if u repeatadly flash different roms, sometimes files from older version stays behind as when u flash a rom, you just copy and sometimes overwrite files without deleting the older ones. hence at times these older files may create bugs\instability. hardrest donot always fix it.so we use MTTY
but the thing is, mtty is and can be hard to use for new users. ... for me,, i was having the worst time installin the drivers needed to run mtty on win7 x64. so u i made this tool for me and for all

and I would add to agent_47, as he adapted this tool for the HTC Diamond
Did anyone tried this?
What's the verdict?
mmm. interesting.
Thanks for the share and all your hard work but this is actually harder than mitty for me and i am a windows 7 user also

I do not understand how this is possible, I am using Vista and this is as easy as flashing a ROM with a computer. You just connect the device via USB to the Diamond, let active sync finish. Then you just need to run "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" and follow the instructions.
I have tested this, and I can confirm this is working for the European HTC Diamond (bought in Portugal).
This was not made by me, but I do think that more people will benefit with this program. Hopefully people will overcome the initial resistance to change.
Great idea!
I used to MTTY through VMWare Windows XP x86 within my host Windows 7 x64. It was a pain in the ass to get though but it always worked for me. This is a great time saver!
Regards to both of you Johev and agent_47!
Willing to test on my next flash.
Best regards,
Cina.

What do you mean? take out battery?
Gonna try this with my next flash
Yeah, the sentence is a bit odd to me to
i asume it means take out battery but still..
i'm not gonna try it until i know it for sure!
--edit--
i couldn't help it and used it anyway..
i assumed "take our batti" means take out battery cuz it worked for me!
my diamond was clean (i guess) and i'm now enjoying a new rom!
Thanx guys!!
I would never post something that I did not test first.
I am glad that you liked it, and I really think it is much simpler then the mitty thread.
Good luck flashing.

I LOVE THIS TOOL
this isn't good for my ORD.. i'm flashing the hell out of my diamond now!
Getting a HD2 in about a month.. can't wait for it ;D
I tried it, but I only get the start screen with "Touch diamond", no bootloader.
But I´ve installed HARDSPL Olinex, because I already flashed other ROM´s.
How can I solve this problem?
What about battery? When I have to get it out, when I can put it in again...?
fibula
to get into bootloader you have to reset your device while holding the volume down button!
then you will get the tri-color screen,
connect your diamond to your pc and flash a rom with a RUU!

To get into bootloader with my diamond:
1) Turn Diamond off, take out battery for 5 seconds.
2) Put battery back inside, and press and hold the centre button (circle) and turn ON the device (hold both buttons) until you see a 3 colour screen
If step 2 does not work, try pressing holding volume down while turning the device on (hold the ON button too). Remember to take out the battery before you do this.
Hope this helps.
Hi!
Does this work by simply copying any ROM's nbh file (instead of radio*.nbg) to folder and executing ROMUpdateUtility.exe? Will it MTTY before flashing the ROM?
Currently I'm trying this method out. It is around at 50% of flashing progress.
I'll report back.
Cina.
thanks a ton dude.... magnificent work...
Now if there were only a way to do it directly from Internal Storage, without RUU...
It does not work the way I described. It hangs on HTC Diamond black boot screen and no red lines appears in lower right corner (no OS recognized).
So you have to flash 2 times. Radio flash is shorted for the first attempt and on the second turn you flash your ROM with CustomRUU.
There is a similiar tool like this with the method working with other devices I described above. FlashaholicRUU. Someone give it a try for Diamond. Next week I'll do it and report back.
Cheers,
Cina.

I remember to see that post on xda developers front page short time ago, but I was not sure if it would work for HTC Diamond.
A universal task29 that would format and flash the device in one single process.
Ironically it was developed a few weeks after I have found an alternative way to mitty that I posted here.
So far I did not hear that it was compatible with Diamond, so I will not risk it.
It's nice to have all these options, because when I searched for something like this a few months ago, I could only find the mitty threat that has more than 80 posts.
For me it was strange as newer devices with very similar hardware and software already had something like this, but Diamond users had to use mitty.
Well I am glad that you like it, and hopefully I helped someone that was not able or willing to do it manually.
