Upgrading an operator rom ( Telstra ) - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hello guys I was wondering if I could update my htc diamond rom!! I bought the phone from the operator Telstra in Australia. I want to make it to normal rom like the original from htc. I mean remove all the telstra embedded software and stuff. Can I do that? If yes how?

Yes you can..
HardSPL it with 1.93 first.
Then flash a custom ROM from here - much better than the original ROM's from HTC.
udK's Syrius R2 is a very good one.

Hmmm ok thank you friend , but can you give me a complete guide on how to do this all the way from the begining? If you cant post it please send me the tutorial by mail. Thank you

a guide (it's right there at the top you know):

Original German o2 branded ROM?

Hey there,
searched for quite a while and couldn't find the original German o2 branded ROM. I just wanted to flash my Diamond and thought it would be nice to have the original ROM as some kind of backup (for warranty reasons).
Thanks in advance,
dan.

hehe...so is mine. i remembered o2 had released official updates on their version of the htc prophet as well as on most of their other branded devices. couldn't resist flashing my diamond and was too fevered to check out how to dump the original ROM :-/
but right now i'm running bepe's bElite0.52 and everything seems faster and more stable now.
so...i guess we just have to wait for o2 to release an update or an other user to dump the stock-ROM for us.

Touch Diamond UK ROM update 1.93.405.1

The new rom 1.93 is now showing in HTC e-club for download. It's dated 30th June, but it wasn't there the other day
RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
Can someone upload to Rapidshare, as us UK Operator users can't register our phone on eClub thus no download access
htc club rom update does not work for diamond
the one on htc's site does not work, u click it, and nothing happens
Here is the original ROM from the UK HTC site
http://rapidshare.com/files/1346631..._Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe.html
please please please, can anyone confirm if they used this with a Vodafone HTC Touch Diamond, i want to update my diamond but yet don't want to bugger up the warranty.
Although on the Vodafone e-forums, they confirmed that because this is official HTC update then it will not.
I am new to ROMS so any advice on what to do will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Paul
It will just be a stock ROM, so you won't get the Vodafone white and pink theme I don't think. Thanks for the Rapidshare link
no pink
stock is black
To flash this to my UK Voda Diamond do I need to use hard SPL or will it flash straight on ok?
so if i just do this rom update on my Voda Diamond, will it just make it like the original HTC Theme, so say i copied my vodafone theme to my computer then put it back on it could work?
And also if anyone has done this with Vodafone diamond, let us know if the Sat nav still works
thanks
Paul
@Paulio5
You can reinstall the voda theme from here after reflash, and of course gps will still work.

From what I have read you will lose the Voda SatNav app but I think you can ask them to send you a link via text message to download it again.
Help
Sorry if I am being a plonker but the attached is a newer date does that mean that the ROM I have on my diamond is newer than the one on the first post on here and the HTC website?
My UK Vodafone ROM is 1.37.161.2.WWE dated 26/06/08.
so if im updating to this official rom, do i still need to use hardspl? i've read somewhere I dont need to because it conflicts or something along those lines?? i've got an MDA compact iv
Thanks
I tried to flash _QMR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship to my Vodafone UK Diamond today but it won't work so I am assuming I need a signed Hard SPL. My current is version is 1.37 so I would that I need 1.37 but as yet I still haven't learned what to do with the SPL.
This is all so confusing, I think if there were locked and stickied threads with a complete idiots guide to this it would save us all asking the same questions.
ye i had the same problem so i upgraded to Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex. i havent yet tried upgrading this updated rom yet as im stil unclear

good question. I would like to know too
I have phone the oem spl at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2324837#post2324837 just need to know the version to install now
Don't worry. I returned my previous phone with a Dutch T-Mobile ROM and they didnt notice. They just reflashed it / swapped it out....
well tmobile pulled me up on a flashed n95 and said it wasn't in warranty so dont want to risk it again.
My friend had 1 and when i flashed hard spl for him his was on 1.37
Just put that rom and the 1.37 stock spl and it will do the job.
Just 1 quick question why do you want to return the diamond? any problems?
returning it for the touch pro cant stand the crap battery life. Plus had a vario 3 and cant get on with out a keyboard.

Sorry to go off topic but just on Monday I asked UK T-mobile about the Touch Pro and they had no idea of availability. Are you suggesting they are now available?
i rang up today i they said they had them in but some of them called it the vario 4 or some called it the vario dimaond, but they said it was 89 quid on flex 35

are those SPLs the same used in branded devices or just the stockSPLs used by HTC?
or am i getting something wrong

SPLs are HTC produced.
No operator has it's "own" private SPL (afaik).
So SPL version 1.01 (random number) is exacty the same for all operators.
okay, so i'm not realy into all this hardspl-stuff ;D
i thought it was also providing me from flasing original HTC-Stuff on branded phones ;D
sry for newbie question its my first WM
but thank you for stating this out ;-)

Hard SPL won't allow you flash any other SPL..
You'd need a Soft SPL (sSPL) to do that.
Basicly you take the Hard SPL kit.
Replace the hard-SPL nbh with a factory-SPL.nbh and flash that.
(don't know if anybody has posted any "factory-SPL.nbh" for diamond yet)
After flashing the factory SPL you can reflash your shipped ROM to bring the device into Factory condition.
okay so i mixed up with soft and hard spl...
so thanks again, now i got it!(i hope ;D)

Vodaphone WM6.5 + Stock HTC Theme...?

Hi all,
I've recently downloaded the Voda WM6.5 ROM - but before I upgrade I'd like to know if it's possible to get the HTC stock theme just like we were able to do for the WM6.1 ROM? I get on with Voda's attempt, just not with their grim red theme. If I can't change it to stock HTC then I'll probably not upgrade...
Cheers!
Rag.
Why not HSPL your phone and flash a new ROM entirely? That is what I have done on my vodafone TP2 and I now have no horrible vodafone theme or software!
have a read of this if you are unsure what I mean!

Definately the best way to go but not everyone wants to go down this route for various reasons.
Gringolian - I'll probably do that in the end once I've plucked up the courage. I'll also need to figure out what ROM is best to use.
Thanks Allen - where can I get hold of that please?
Cheers,
Rag.

The 6.5 Vodafone theme is much better than the 6.1 one. They've sorted the black on red etc. Definately worth the upgrade for that alone. I'd upgrade to the Voda one personally rather than SPL if you're not interested in running cooked roms. If you don't like it you can always SPL after.
You can download the "Stock" HTC "theme" HERE
It's zipped as it's around the 40mb mark.
I should make this absolutely clear, this is for Vodafone ROMs only, if a file is already used by the VF ROM it was not included (Generally this is for *.png, *.bmp or *.jpg files). The "theme" will make your TF3D look exactly like it does from HTC.

Hi, I have read that thread very carefully but need to know if I need to HSPL my Vodafone TP2 to run the 6.5 upgrade? I suspect i might want to return to Vodafone 6.1 or flash a new ROM entirely. Guess my question is do i need to have HSPL to do any of these?
If you're using the VF 6.5 ROM update, hardspl is not necessary. This is only necessary if you are going to use anythingelse other than VF ROMs.
