Hi Guys
I am trying to unlock my diamond. I have purchased it from Bell canada
and so far this is all I know about it. It is a DIAM500 whatever that means.
This is what it says in the about page
Windows Mobile 6.1
CE OS 5.2.19972 (Build 19972.1.2.7)
2008 Microsoft Corp.
ROM Version 1.13.666.7
Rom Date 10/02/08
Radio Version 1.04.02v
Hardware version 0080
PRL Version 31402
PRI version 1.42_007
So anyway I am not sure but this is probably really outdated stuff. I am not even sure if this is a CDMA device and how can i figure that out? I downloaded a diamond unlocker but it says I should install Hard spl 1.40 first.
So with my current config is it safe to do so? Any help is much appreciated.
p.s. I tryed to update the ROM trough the official HTC website but it wont let me update since it doesnt recognise my serial
number.
Look at this and ask questions in there:

I have an AT&T Siemens SX56. I used the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.2 to get my SIM Lock disabled. I have T-Mobile service and my T-Mobile SIM now works, hoooray!
However!, The version of Pocket PC on this ROM is not to my liking.
I went to siemens site and they offer the latest Windows Mobile 2003 for my device, however I can't use it becuase my ROM versions don't match.
IS there any way I can upgrade the latest Windows mobile 2003? What would be the recommended method?
My current SX56 info:
Rom Version: 3.17.03 ENG
Radio Version: A.33.02
Protocol Version: 1.3.3
Model No. says: PW10a1 (even though it says on the back PW10b1)
MS Pocket PC 3.0.12039 (build 11178)
Any help or advice would be appreciated. I scared to do anything for fear that using a ROM kitchen might toast my ROM
ANY advice on this would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Brock
the rear sticker is THE right one .. your device is B and it works on 900/1900 MHz.
As long you don't touch the RSU part and you are using the SD method for ROM flashing, there is almost nothing can go wrong for using the kitchen for ROM cooking. I can't remember how many times I flashed my ROM
You can get more details by reading through this forum carefully.
Good luck
Hmm... So what version of ROM on this ROM kitchen website would be most recommended: http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ ?
Also is there a reason why you are only allowed 3620kb of ROM space? I thought my device had 32MB?
All I would have to do is create the ROM on that site save it as a .exe and then it would do everything else?
Thank you for the quick reply!
I forgot to mention that I have the Wallaby Boot loader version 5.22, if that makes any difference.
I also was wondering if the newer radio versions make any difference on reception/clarity/availablity of a signal????
Another thing I was wondering about is... How come on this ROM kitchen website http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ I have to e-mail information and await instuctions to proceed? Does he have to give me a special number that is generated to make the ROM I downloaded work w/ my IMEI or device?? Or is that totally not right???
Thanks again,

When I got my replacement AT&T 8525, it came with the AT&T WM5 ROM. I decided to downgrade to the Cingular WM5 version since I didn't like the AT&T one. I've been skeptical about upgrading to the official WM6 release, and I figured that since I have some time tonight that I would. However, I do have a couple of questions about how this will work since I had to install a different bootloader in order to make the change back to the Cingular WM5 version possible.
Currently my settings are:
ROM version: 1.34.502.1
ROM date: 09/21/06
Radio version: 1.40.30.00
HardSPLv7
My question are, do I need to modify my radio version before I upgrade? Also, should I modify my bootloader before I upgrade to the official WM6? Thanks.
Firstly good job on flashing HardSPL.
your radio doesnt need to be changed at all, but if you want to take a peek at my tests here that might help you choose an appropriate radio version.
For WM6 DEFINATLY go for it, the updated stacks/drivers/kernel are definatly faster than the WM5 versions.
Give the pandora naked 7 ROM a shot........it will FLY.
Your settings can be restored for AT&T using the HTC network wizard (easily found with a search).......and make sure you backup all your contacts etc... using PIMBackup (in the development forum).
I keep getting an error 264 connection error saying that the update utility cannot connect to my phone. I've followed all the steps. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The only thing that sparks my mind that I don't remember occuring before is that when I plug my phone in via USB ActiveSync automatically begins, so I wasn't sure if I needed to disable that function or not since the instructions mentioned something about being sure that happens before installing the new ROM.
Any help? I'm still stuck here.
I just did mine (I am a brand new to all this) and I followed these steps word for word in this thread, adn man what a difference .
read these all the way through.

Nates good people and willing to help although he is a caffeine addict
and after you upgrade the rom do this, but read it all before doing so
HTC plug in , great look for the 8525

Oh i forgot, the HTC att WM6 included the radio upgrade to the 1.48. which works great.
Hiya, I have a HTC Cruise and wnat to know which version of WM is running. I ask this as I sent HTC an email about their upgrade to 6.1 and the info they sent back was a ROM update with the same ROM version.
My phone device info is:
ROM version of 1.26.710.1 WWE
ROM Date of 12/17/07
Radio Version of 1.58.21.23
Protocol Version of 25.65.30.04H
To me the above numbers dont mean a heck of a lot but I hope they do to someone else..
The "About" screen indicates it is "Windows Mobile 6 Professional" (if it is 6.1, should it say "6.1"?)
Cheers
IJ
Start, Settings, About for the WM version.

If it indicates that, then it's the WM version, some devices don't have the most recent Windows Mobile update from HTC.
If you wan't to try, usually you must use cooked ROM's from XDA Dev's.
Ok I have a sprint vogue here's the info:
bootloader spl-0.36.0000
ROM 1.12.651.1
Radio 2.13.0
I have done many flash's on HTC but I've never had one with this combo. My goal is to get a gps rom and windows 6.1 on it.. it will eventually be a cricket 6.1.
Tell me if im wrong i really dont wish to brick this phone.
1. .41 unlocker
2. Upgrade the radio.. which i can't find a radio can someone give me a link? And these titan radio's do they work? OR would it be easier to get a stock sprint rom with a 3.xx radio and upgrade that way.. if so can someone point me towards that download.
3. use the 2.31 unlocker????
4. Install the 6.1 rom
Thanks for any help bros
Ok i found the sprint rom new info
Bootloader
SPL-2.01.0000
CPLD-3
Rom: 3.03.651.4
Radio: 3.42.30
Now i use the 2.31 unlocker correct ? And i can flash any gps rom.. i.e cricket
Because i keep reading its only for alltel ? is this correct ? Or is it safe on my current configuration ?

Those are the same thing, you can't install WM6.5 without flashing the whole ROM.
You want the first link you posted, if you want the latest update. The second link you posted is from 2009.
So from the ROM update from the 1st link it will also install Windows 6.5 on my mobile? or it will just update the ROM?
Updating the ROM is flashing Windows Mobile to your phone. Windows is not installed like it is on your PC to a hard-drive. It is 'flashed' into the ROM of your phone (along with other useful Apps and drivers). Flashing a different ROM will give you a different version or flavour of WM. (TP2 can run WM6.1, WM6.5 or WM6.5.x).
Who is your carrier? I know that T-Mobile has an official Windows Mobile v6.5 ROM available for their T-Mobile branded phones. So you may want to check with your carrier to see if they have one for you.
I did try the official Windows Mobile v6.5 ROM from T-Mobile and it was OK. But I had already been trying out various WM 6.5.x ROMs off of XDA before I tried out their official ROM.
To try out a customized ROM from here you'll have to do a few things first. If you are using a GSM TP2 (ATT, T-Mobile, etc) I'd advise going to the Touch Pro 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development page and read through a few posts first, specifically the thread Flashing your first GSM Rhodium ROM (for Noobs).
If you are using a CDMA TP2 (Verizon, Sprint) I'd recommend going to the Touch Pro 2 CDMA page for threads about ROMs for the CDMA TP2 and then reading the thread RhodiumW Hard-SPL Release.
Then don't hesitate to ask questions. There are plenty of people here on these forums that are willing to help.
As stated before this is very dependent on the type of device which you own so be careful when doing so. If you have a GSM (Att/T-mobile) device look in the upgrades section for that if you have a CDMA device (Sprint/Verizon) look in the upgrades section there. Read how to unlock and then you can flash a 6.5 or even 6.5.x ROM which is the latest in windows mobile. Be aware that flashing a ROM will wipe all your data it is not a simple upgrade procedure, you will need to get all your contacts, settings, apps, etc back on your device on your own so make sure you backup everything beforehand.
Hello
This is my first post so hope I am not out of line replying here.
I recently received my TP2 with Windows 6.1 with ROM version of 1.19.702.2 Date: 06/22/09. Also from Hong Kong.
I am thankful to find this thread and the great info here. But I have a similar situation with some additional questions.
Do I post the questions here?
If you want a stock windows without void warranty, you can from official website HTC download actuall ROM. You must write there you P/N so they know if the upgrade is for your TP2. If not, change country at their site and try again till you find the right ROM.
Example: i could not download till i didnt change country to czech republic.
If you dont mind to void warranty, go to developing section
