A little question for my Diamond - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi there all.. i have my diamond i think for some months now.. and i want to install another rom..
I dont have the original rom.. after i bought my diamond i flashed it .. i installed first a hardspl then the rom and now i want to flash another rom ( A.Z.T.O.R X2 ) and i want to ask if i can flash it directly or i have to install the hardspl again ?

you only have to flash hard spl once and you can flash as many roms as you want

Just a heads up to not forget to do a hard reset after installing a ROM to avoid bugs that can occur from flashing....

oh ok thx ill do a hard reset yeah.. can anyone tell me where can i check on what hardspl do i have on my diamond ? i know i got DiamondStone v2.1 ROM but i dont know the hardspl..

When you enter the bootloader it tells you which spl you have flashed on your phone, to get into the boot loader, VOL DOWN + RESET

A ok yea ur right i just restarted my diamond and i saw it sorry..
ok so i have
R. 1.00.25.03
G 52.261.25.09
D 1.93.00.00
Hardspl is 1.93.00.00 i guess.. so ill go ahead and install the rom that i want and normally it should work

Umm the 1.93.00.00 i think shows the shipped hardspl, just as a precaution, you should check inside the bootloader :/

Yeah i did the bootloader thing.. and it says SPL - 1.40.OliNex its good i guess i can install any rom no ?

then your good to flash the roms from here meaning xda-dev diamond rom development forum

Actually the 1.93.00.00 speaks to the current ROM installed on the device...

Since you're not giving any details I don't know what your exact issue is. It depends on your Phone and where you got it.
Most likely your issue can be resolved by reading the thread which I link to in my signature.

If you HardSPL you wont be able to install a standard HTC ROM without some faffing, I had this problem this week, so if your 1.93 is the released Standard OEM HTC one then dont HardSPL whatever you do.
thanks alot guys. what a quick response. and sorry for the caps lock if it got u confused.
as far as the details of the phone is concerened. its an orange UK contract phone with the ROM version 1.37.405.1 WWE radio 1.00.25.03. the phone hasnt been flashed at all. i did try to flash it to _QMR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe but was unable to. i guess i should have hard spl it before.
i m guessing the only thing i need to do is to hard spl it right. or do i need to do something else as well.
again thanks alot guys for the quick responses.
hi tony.
i have actually tried to do it without hard spl but it would get stuck on 1%. is there any other way to do it. i believe the ROM i m trying to flash to is an official one as far as the thread i downloaded it from is concerend.
one thing to clear here. its the first time i m trying to flash from 1.37 to 1.93 official rom. could someone confirm that there is a 1.93... official rom available or is it one of the cooked ones. and could one confirm as well that i need to hard spl even flashing from oficial to official rom. coz two post before tony mentioned not to hard spl.
any ideas guys. thanks
Here's what I've just done, I hope it helps -
Vodafone UK to UK release HTC ROM.
1. I read the info here, over and over and asked lots of questions.
2. I checked the current SPL of my fone (Volume Down & Reset) and found I had 1.37.
3. Downloaded Hard SPL 1.37 UnSigned and installed it - Here was my first problem. Everyone just says use RUU to install hard SPL however the SPL's I downloaded didn't come with RUU so I took a guess and decided that RUU was a generic flasher which could also flash the SPL for me.
4. Use RUU to flash the SPL, mine reported V1.0 as the new ROM version but installed and rebooted perfectly to reveal the coloured screen informng that I did now have a Cooked SPL installed.
5. Followed the fisrt startup procedure that the phone asked me to do.
6. Flashed the new ROM in a similar way to flashing the Hard SPL.
7. Phone flashed ok and I'm just in the process of setting it up now.
One issue I did have was using Vista I had to right click and run as Administrator to make it work.

wrong. if you use unsigned hardspl (aka "developer hardspl") it will flash HTC ROMs just fine
1.93 is also unsigned.

who's "everyone"? this information is totally wrong, wrong, wrong.
next time you download an attachment from a post, read the post where the attachment was, and you won't have this problem (the post that had the unsigned hardspl 1.37 also talked about where to get the special SSPL RUU for it - have a guess. it is in the same post in another attachment).

cant install any roms , help please

hi all ,
my 1st post so hope this is not a silly post .
i have been reading the posts here for 2 weeks and today i got a Vario 2 from ebay , its a great phone i really like it .
i have check the boot loader and it says it has herm300 IPL 1.04 SPL 2.10.01ipro at the botom of the loader screen it says serial , so i guess from that there is no need for me to load Hard SPl as i already have it ?
when i try to load a new rom ( i have tried 5 different ones ) and i use the autodetect method it says unknown version select safe sspl ,should i select the safe sspl or the spl 2.10 ( 4th option down )
sorry to ask its just that as i have only had the phone 3 hours i dont want to trash it just yet
thanks in advance Andy
Dont use the auto-detect one. Just use the option for 2.0 or greated SPL and start flashing. If not you can always use the SD card method. Look in to wiki for more information.
you should really reinstall newest olipro
if you r in boot loader mode auto detect will not work will only work if activesyncd
I would start with the newest at$t rom before flashing a new rom especially a big storage rom
then update radio the DR uses 1.47 I like 1.54.3 myself
then flash away if you have any issues with a rom post in that roms thread instead of starting a new thread.
nate
hi , just wanted to say thanks to both of you for your help and advice , i am in activesync mode so i guess it should detect the SPL ?? i think i will try to re load the hard SPL and then see if it can be detected before i load any roms ? is that the correct thing to do ? will post noob questions in the other forum in future , thanks andy

Hard spl problem!!!

I know you guys most be tired of this but im still a lil confused about all this since i have searched around and i have still to know how to return the stock SPL...now i know theres alot of post that show how but what i need to do is find out one which i dont have to use my phone:
What i mean is....i dont have to copy SSManual.bat to my fun and run it from my phone...because i have to return my phone to HTC for warranty reasons but i cannot get passed the align screen configuration at boot since my touch is messed up (p.s. i can still flash and active sync)...
what i need to know is a way to return to the stock SPL without using the phone (except for Active Sync)...
p.s. if i have the ASIA WWE HK ROM on the SPL would be 1.34 or 1.93?
thank you!!
[SOLVED]
Basically, thanks to the ppl in this thread for helping.....since i couldnt get passed my align screen cause of hardware problems with my screen i couldnt access the sspl-manual in order to revert to stock spl so what i did is i flash my phone with Dia duit 1.4 which has no welcome screen or align screen so i could go thru to the phone then performed the sspl manual and reverted to the 1.93 spl (my version)and afterwards i flash my phone with the Asia HTC wwe orginal romhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410720 ......i know ure supposed to first flash orginal rom and then the stock spl but i took a chance and it worked...THANKS u guys keep up the good work and now its up to HTC to fix my hardware....Hoping its on warranty
By the way right now im on Olinex 1.40
thank you again!!!
can't you install the hardspl through bootloader mode?
Unfortunately no, everytime i do either i get an error [202] or it goes straight to 100% but then when i check with the vol - and reset button it shows olinex 1.40
did anybody ever try to send it without reverting back to the stock spl ?

Try to install a rom which don't have to align the screen. then you copy the file you wants from the phone.
Good luck
does anybody know of a rom like that that exists cause that sounds like a pretty good idea!!
hi
i had your problem and has olinex 1.40 anld like to restore hard spl
first you should install original rom on your device
then install original hard spl ( i try it )
download rom 1.93 WWE from the htc site (it should be 1.93)
then hard spl with it (copy sspl manual om your device run it then restart you device run it again then connect it to pc and run ruu

i think the new rom of suiller (diadiut 1.4) would do. you don't need to screen align after flashing.

Try flashing Olinex 1,39 instead of 1,34. That should solve your problem.
Cheers.
cant find
can you link to the 1.39? cant seem to find it :S

[TUT] HOW-TO restore Diamond to stock for warranty

Due to a hardware problem in my Diamond I needed to restore it to manufacturer default. I didn't find a guide to this and since I've done the research anyway I thought I'd put together this little tutorial as the information was somewhat scattered around the forum. I hope this guide will be of use for the community.
My phone was originally branded and sim-locked by 3. After I was through with it, it was SIM-unlocked, security unlocked and had HSPL, custom ROM and a radio ported from another device. The steps below is what I did to restore it to stock. All steps might not be neccessary for you. This procedure might also work for other devices than the Diamond, but of course you need other versions of SPL, ROM etc.
1. Backup everything on your phone to your computer - use activesync, PIMbackup etc and make a copy of your Internal Storage.
2. Make a hard reset (hold vol down + enter and soft reset) and chose to format moviNAND. This step is only neccessary if you want to wipe your Internal Storage before you send the device in for repair, but I recommend it.
3. Go to www.htc.com and download the latest stock ROM (includes stock radio and SPL). You find it under Support and you enter your s/n to get the correct stock ROM for your device, complete with branding for your operator. You can also find stock ROMS here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699
4. Flash the stock ROM. Now you have stock ROM and Radio on your device. Stock SPL will not be installed until you've replaced HSPL with an older stock SPL and flashed ROM again.
5. Get RUU-SSPL and stock SPL from HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39. I used the stock 1.93 SPL. Some instructions and info about restoring stock SPL is in the linked post by cmonex and due credit goes to her. I will repeat some of that info to keep this guide step-by-step. EDIT: Stock SPL 2.03 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3359191&postcount=390
6. Put the .nbh file from the SPL you downloaded into the same folder as the extracted contents of RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip and run the RUU. This flashes an old stock SPL.
7. Flash your stock ROM from step 3 again. This step is neccessary to get the correct stock SPL on your device, eg. the one that corresponds with the stock ROM you've downloaded in step 3. It was not installed in step 4, because then you still had HSPL. In step 6 you've installed a stock SPL and now the correct stock SPL will flash along with the stock ROM. After this step I got SPL 2.03 on my Diamond.
8. Remove the Security Unlock from your device using the instructions and Security Relocker by Olinex from this post by cmonex: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3299516&postcount=492
Now, my Diamond is still SIM-unlocked. I have not managed to find any info about how to restore the SIM-lock, but it is hopefully not neccessary for warranty. As far as I can tell, the unlock doesn't show anywhere, but of course all they need to do is to try a SIM-card from another operator...
If anyone has info about how to restore SIM-lock, then I'll update this guide with that info.

I second that, it contains links to stock ROMs, that'll hopefully stop a million topics about it lol.
This does not work for me.. However i have a problem. the touch screen of my device is not working.. so i can't get pass the allign screen part .. and for somereason the ruu won't connect to phone when it is at tha part so i can't install the spl.. the only way i can do that i through bootloader and it flashes fine but when i then look in bootloader to see the spl it still shows 1.40 olinex..

You're right, I tried it too. Flashing SPL through bootloader doesn't work.
You can try using JumpSPL instead, I've attached it in this post. I don't think JumpSPL will require any screen prompts on your Diamond. You can read instructions.txt in the zip, but it's just really the .bat file so you get an idea of what it's doing. Run the .bat, press enter at the prompts and run the RUU for your stock SPL instead of HSPL when asked. At your own risk, I have not tried this myself.
where can i read more information about jumpspl, how it works and everything?

Look in the Xda-wiki, search and google, and not just in the Diamond section.

I have just tried it and it gets stuck where it should run the JumpSPL.exe on the device. After a few minutes it comes with an error:
"ERROR: CreateProcess failed with Errorcode = 30123
- UNKNOWNERROR: 0x000075ab"
This is not good I just think its wierd that because of a broken screen it is impossible for me to get the stock spl flashed back on.

Sorry to hear it and I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. After all, my little tutorial is primarily aimed at those whose Diamonds have working screens...
On another note, my Diamond came back from warranty repair and the repair shop had not noticed anything that would void my warranty. In the meantime I got myself a Topaz and now I've sold my Diamond, but I'll be checking this thread from time to time.
Hey thanks bro..!! I need to give mine for reparing..
I have a hardware problem with the reset button.. Do you think I should flash my diamond back to stock? (I don't think they'll check the software right?)

I would restore it to stock anyway. Some workshops actually look for excuses/reasons why the warranty won't apply so I say you'd definitly be taking a risk if you didn't.

Another idea: maybe you can find some a VNC program that also works the "other way" with windows mobile, so that you can get a window on your PC with the screen of your device?

If you manage to install ANY stock SPL and then flash the correct ROM for your country and operator then you automatically get the correct SPL too, since stock ROMs include SPL. If you go to htc.com and type in your s/n then you automatically get the latest ROM for your device and operator.

I only link to the SPLs provided by olipro and cmonex in the hard-SPL thread. If you need closer info about SPLs I suggest you ask there. I only tried to revert back to stock SPL 1.93 myself and it worked just like described in first post.
Thanks Op
Managed to restore it no problem, but took ages
