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?

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.
Thread closed.
Hi All,
Sorry, there is so much information on this site, i'm lost.
Can someone please provide links to what I need to download and install to upgrade a stock standard telstra diamond touch so I can get it working correctly with Optus?
Thanks.
OK, i've upgraded the bootloader to the hard spl, and the radio version is already at 1.00.25.06 (do you think its worth downgrading to 1.00.25.05??)
Now, what's the most popular rom for the diamond? What do people suggest?
Thanks.

I'm using Dutty's ROM at the mement. But I will be using this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438313
when its bugs get sorted out since its based on the Diamond 2 thingo or whatever so it'll have some new features.
I'm the same as you. Bought the Telstra Diamond and chucked in my Optus SIM. Pretty much just have to any ROM and you won't have to see the Telstra branding everywhere.
That ROM you linked looks rather spic. What issues are stopping you from flashing that ROM now?

To be honest I didn't find out about that ROM until just before I found your post, Mainly time has been stopping me and the hassle, and I read that there are some little bugs that it has when skimming through the thread but there was nothing that was bad enough to make me not upgrade. Just don't want to Flash to the ROM and then have a new revision come out two days later which is better.
Think I'll upgrade to this ROM right not though
Thanks for your post.
I decided to use the rom that you linked to, and found found it a 1000% improvement from the Tesltra one.
Only issue I have found so far is trouble connecting to wifi networks. Will have a bit more of a play soon.
Apart from that, it's good.
I 'downgraded' to the 1.00.25.05 radio and seemed to get alot better battery life from it.
Regarding ROMs, I agree almost anything is better than the stock Telstra one
Heey people,
could someone please tell me where to get the latest official rom from HTC?
Cus i have a branded version of the Diamond, so i cant download it from their site.
I hope one of you knows where to get that latest version without having to use the serialnumber of my phone, because that serial number doesn't work.
Thanks in advance!

Okay, I need to apologize because I didn't see this post was on the forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910.
But 1,93 isn't really that up to date, is this the only post containing original roms that you guys know off, because i've used the search function a billion times by now, with a dictionary full of keywords, but i haven't found anything higher than 1,93.
Thanks in Advance!

although in all honesty apart from that one thread i haven't searched for the offical rom yet, just starting to get fed up of the little things that don't work that you rarely use in custom roms

I'm not saying that those custom roms suck or something, i LOVED using them, really! But im thinking of selling my phone, and i don't want to sell it disfunctioning.
So, please help me out haaha

These are obviously newer than the ones found in the link i posted earlier. I found a 2.03 version in that post which is Dutch, so if this is the latest we can get in Holland, i'll be definatly downloading that version.
Thanks Stead, for finding this post!

hello guys
i have the HTC Touch Diamond (p3700) from rogers, and i was wondering since the phone is locked to the rogers network, is it possible for me to install a custom rom on the phone?? or do i have to do the sim unlock to do that??
sorry, this might be a noob question but i need the question answered as i had the O2 Xda Mini S before my HTC which was unlocked and this is the first time i actually purchased a phone from rogers since i get all my phones from out canada
thanks for your help guys, really appreciate it
i have a rogers HTC diamond as well.. and its got the winmob 6.1 5.2.19965 build 1.2.3 Year 2008.. the HTC website doesnt let me download the feb 2009 firmware as the device is not suitable..
a few simple Noob questions please..
1 - its working in my country with other network sims, all of them but the phone strartup says rogers... is my cell unlocked or not?
2 - will Hard Spl remove everytrace of rogers from my phone? (i actually wana debrand it from rogers to plain standard retail version)..
3 - Will any firmare upgrade using hardspl method work on my cell?.. and what will happen to the orignal FW? will it be erased permanently, or will it still be stored in a secret storage, so that it can be retrieved later when i plan to sell it later and rest to factory defaults?
Again, as a newcomer and a noob at the Xda dev scene, i would apreciate any kind of help .
thanks in anticipation..

Hi,
As far as I know, you should be able to install any ROM you want.
But make sure you have flashed Hard-SPL Olinex Unsigned,
just try the link in my sig and follow steps 6 - 11.
You still need an unlocker to make it possible using other networks though.

1. Yes your phone is unlocked, but you are using a rogers customized ROM. Try a different ROM to remove it.
2. No, Hard-SPL will not remove it. You'll need to flash another ROM to do that.
3. Firstly, if you are flashing/upgrading a new firmware (we call it ROM) then all data will permanently removed.
There are some packs to revert your ROM back to stock, but I don't know if there are any Rogers ROM's available on the net.
I hope I have answered all your questions.
Good luck both!

hey thanks a lot for the reply, finally someone replies, and this method will not brick my phone right?? since that is what scares me the most the fact that i mite end up bricking my phone
Thanks a lot Elcondor.. it solved half of my problems..
the only thing is,, i tried the 6.5 Prototype rom and rogers sill show up on the startup screen.. i flashed the splash screen, and still the lower 100pixels appear pink, out of no where..
and i simply wana DEBRAND the whole **** of rogers from it, so that i can upgrade the 2.0.0.00 rom version to the HTC official 2.0.43 version, but evertime i download from there, and try updating it, it says, Model ID not compatible..
is there a way to remove the entire rogers crap from it, and get it cleaned like a retail version?...
Thanks a lot sir..

No, it shouldn't brick your phone. In fact, Hard-SPL makes your device hardly brickable. Just try it, you will not be dissapointed. But, it's not my responsabillity if you brick you diamond, keep that in mind.

The splash screen is a harder part to do. You need Patchsplash to patch your splash screen. In that way, the splash screen should appear right. Note that the procedure to do that is pretty hard. Here are some more instructions if you didn't get it.
And about a Diamond stock ROM, take a look here. A 2.03.4 ROM including a new radio and the splash screen.
Good luck guys!

No prob my friend, xda-devs is to help each other.
To recommend a ROM is pretty hard, since there are very different kind of ROMs available.
Do you want a ROM with full Diamond2 experience, without WM 6.5(.x) try Gen. Y D2 R4.
Or, do you prefer a light WM6.5(.x) ROM, try BSB 6.5.1. It is pretty fast and light.
In a short time, I am going to release a 6.5.1 ROM (called Condor GT), with very nice graphics and still very fast.
Just give some a shot and you'll soon find out which ROM is the best.
BTW All the ROMS given in this thread are better that stock ROMs, just to be clear

Do what the man says and you'll be OK, Then you can find a ROM that takes your fancy !!!
thanks for that. Good news, I followed the steps and was able to flash to the rom from GXFX. Its very nice, much better than the stock o2 one.
I would really like to flash to the stock HTC rom but get the error message 'invalid product ID.'
What can I do about this please ? The product I have is an o2 xda and have olinex 1.40 running on it.
many thanks

You cant flash any stock ROM other than O2 because your Diamond is Ignito from O2, tried it myself and got the same as you. There is plenty of Cooked ROMS in here that are way better than any stock ROM for you to try !!!
thanks, will stick with what I have got i.e. the rom from gxfx
