HELP on installing new ROM - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

HI,
Im having problem installing a new ROM wm 6.5 to my touch diamond1. I tried doing the installtion from my internal storage. I renamed the new ROM already and place it in my internal storage and tried to install from there. I have a hard SPL Olinex 1.4 or 1.37.
after I pressed the lower vol+back button the red/green/blue screen cam and then a gray screen asking for movihand.mtg and after that it loads another gray screen saying loading.............. for a long time.
If anyone has encountered this problem need assistance.
Im trying to install deepshining ROM ver 8.
Thanks,

You need unsigned hard_spl like the Olinex 1.40 or 1.93
see this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211

do not forget to use the search option
things i found to check:
do you have the hardspl 1.93 (are you sure)
try deleting the files on your internal storage (or copy them to your computer) and only put the DIAMIMG.NBH file in the root
try it with the customruu.exe if it stays at 0% for too long, something is wrong, probably with your hardspl
put your device in bootloader (rgb screen), connect to computer, on the bottom serial should change to usb. try using customruu.exe.
you need to have the nbh file in the same directory as customruu offcourse.
maybe a not so nice remark. sorry in advance:
but if you have so many problems why try flashing at all? i can guarantee you that you will run into problems using custom rom's. you will have to do a lot of searching and trying to find solutions. the manuals about flashing are already in the forums. and working for everybody else. so you are probably doing something wrong.
I would suggest that you search a lot more and longer and list everything you tried. you are not the first to run into problems, and you will not be the lasts.
good luck

thanks I will try again thanks for the advise.

Rom upgrade problem

Last night I wanted to install the official new dutch Vodafone rom for my diamond, from 1.37 to 1.97, so I started reading on the forums.
First I did a hard SPL, and now I have a SPL-1.30. Olinex, so I think that is right.
After the hard SPL I tried installing the RUU, but every time it starts installing, the progressbar stays at 0% and after some minutes, i get an 262 error. I tried it at several PC's, XP, Vista, Windows 7. So that is not the problem.
Anyone has an idea how to fix this?
greetings from holland, and sorry for my crappy english
Anyone has an idea, im realy wanting to upgrade
Sounds like u did everything right....but when flashing, using your pc is the last solution. Always flash Radios or Roms using the internal method.
Got this from Suiller:
COOKING ROMs & Radios from phone =-
1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file
2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH
3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)
4. soft reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)
5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons
6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade
7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device
8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache
I only hard reset after a new Rom has been installed.........I don't do this for Radios.
I have the vodafone 1.97 rom on my computer, but it is an exe file. And I can't unrar it. So where can I find that big.nbh file?
I placed the nbh file, and i called it DIAMIMG. But when i boot, i get a grey screen that says loading and doesn't goes away.
Help needed!

Change the hard-spl to 1.93 olinex and your problem is over, has worked for me with all roms so far. And when you flash, put your phone in bootloader mode manualy and your flashes works every time.
And if the rom is a exe file you can forsure unzip it!! use right tool for that, ex. winzip and you have your .nbhfile
If the file is DIAMIMG.nbh you can rename it to RUU_signed.nbh and fla**** with udK.s Custom RUU
Maybe it's a noob question but where can i find the 1.93 version. And can i just install it over the SPL 1.30 version?
And how do i put it in manual boot?
Here you have the 1.93 version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
just flash the new one over 1.30 version
Manual boot
Volumedown + reset (hold it down for a while, and the 4 color screen will appear)
Put manual boot only when flash rom!! not hard-spl
It finally worked! Thank you all!

Original Vodafone SPL (warranty)

Hello,
I've got an touch diamond with hard spl and windows mobile 6,5... but today my touch screen doesn't react on touching anymore so I need to send it for warranty. I had an backup of my original spl but I lost it installing windows 7...Now I need an original spl for my vodafone phone... Maybe someone can help me with this(I'm from holland don't know if that matters for the version of the spl...)
already many thanks...
Erick
Try searching on the Vodafone website for a Rom for your device, if you are able to find it then flash it, it will install the rom and radio, but the SPL will remain HardSPL. As the final step when you have your stock rom flashed is the SPL flashing, the SPL can be extracted from the Vodafone rom package with "nbh extract"... when you will have it follow the steps in the HardSPL thread where you can find the way to flash the original SPL...
Allright, I installed a new firmware from the internal storage because my touch screen doesn't work... now the only thing i need is the original bootlader. I tried nbh extract but it doesn't work on my windows? (windows 7) here is the link to my original rom http://www.vodafone.nl/Vodafone/wg2...igned_Diamond_52.44.25.24_1.08.25.08_Ship.exe
maybe someone can help me how to install the bootloader...(again I have no touchscreen anymore
regards and thanks already
heres how i envisage doing it.
you need to run jumpspl on your phone. I guess you can still run an OS and execute apps using the navi pad and action key.
if you have done the jumspl correctly your screen will rurn blank connect your phone to your PC and then you can flsh the original spl back!
i attach the jumpspl with instructions as well as the SPL.nb file extracted from the ROM which you posted the link to.
i did not recreate it as an nbh file as i do not know what model ID, country ID,Version and language your phone, is may be some one else can tell you! or if you tell me can build a flashable nbh for you!
i ask can some one else to please verify this procedure first, before you attempt doing it!
Well great thanks for the help but maybe you can make a flash file for me...the next thing is the problem, windows is installed and when you want to start windows you will need to tap te screen to run the standard procedure to allign the screen and set the date...I can't do this without touch and so i can't load any apllications how do i find the info that you need?regards
Can anyone tell me where to find:
ID, country ID,Version of my HTC touch Diamond??(without touch screen)
regards
alrright the next things i've found hope that it helps for creating a nbh file for my spl instead of the hardspl...
Country - The Netherlands
Dutch Language
Rom1.93
DIAM100
FCDID:NM8DMS
ok ive done it with the info you gave but i also used some of the generic info like Moel ID= Diam**** .... etc
the nbh is built but you should get confirmation off some one else before you proceed! i take no responsibility ! hope this helps
can somebody check/confirm this? Already many thanks! regards Erick
allright i installed it but it doesn't work still have got olinex spl...at this moment active sync is working maybe someone can help me out now?
regards
it wont work until you run jump sl properly! jump spl overides the write restrictions on the spl!
if you run jump sply correctly the screen will go blank as soon as you execute it!
then connect you usb cable and flash! (whilstthe screen is blank)
already thanks for the great help, JUMPSPL is running! now i try to install the rom with customruu and then copy the nhb you made for me in the same directory..only it still stays on olinex
CustumRUU says it is installed correctly and that it's finished...I think Jump SPL isnt working like it should, the screen is not turning black but it says that i can install the spl...I think the problem is that i can't alling the screen and windows is not fully loaded yet..?
regards
mmm, the problem is jum spl alright! im sorry i dont have a solution for you may be some one else can help! try searching i quiet sure i have read similar problems elswhere!
yeah the problems are there enough but no sollutions to it...I need the following thing...In the startup folder of windows mobile there is the welcome screen, i wan't to delete it so maybe i can go throug loading windows and then i maybe can load the jump spl...just to skip the allignment of the screen...but when i want to delete the files it says that i've got no autohority, also not with total commander, maybe someone knows anything to delete the files with active sync..?
regards and many thanks already to idristo

1) this rom has a different interface such as pics, music, text, email clock etc are written on home screen, its not manila. is it called titanium?
2) i loaded rom but after few hours, the system hangs and reinstalls the rom itself, i have tried the direct flashing from internal storage as well as from RUU inclued.
3) i read about mtty, but dont know how to use it, mtty opens up with a notepad like thing, i am completely lost
4) please suggest a best rom for diamond similar to dutty's with text interface, please suggest why my phone hangs after duttys and what shud i do to avoid it.
5) i like rom which is minimal, text interface, complete with softwares such as change screen, c home editor etc
i do not want the icons on the bottom ( softkeys written in clutter), i want just text,no bars etc
everything as this picture is fine but i dont want the lock , start, at the bottom, neither the softkeys in clutter, simple text softkeys are fine.
if anyone knows a light, titanium, like bsb6.5 duttys rom, please suggest or help me to resolve the hangs and freezes on bsb6.5

Hi, your problems you are having are simple. They are dealt with very easily! The MTTY basically formats your phone to get rid of any "left over bits" of the old rom. There is a thread where someone has explained in detail how to use it, if I were to explain here, I would simply be copying his thread so please read it! The thread is titled "the difinitive mtty thread".
Regarding the rom you have chosen, you are just not used to the new layout. I'm not a fan of titanium either. The original style interface is called manilla, which I prefer. People are trying to move away from it because it is RAM hungry. I recommend using energy rom. I recommend this because he has a manilla (or touch flo 3d) version, AND his rom is pre loaded with fun applications for you to try out! Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517300
Good luck, dont panic! It's not as difficult as it seems!
cant get hard spl to work
i tried everything, jumpspl.
hardspl kaiser dont work on my rom
in the definite mtty thread they say download hardspl ver 7 which i cant find anywhere. plz help
To do an MTTY you dont need any SPL. You need hardSPL to flash a custom ROM... Have you done a HardSPL ?
To do an MTTY basically all you need to do is charge your phone, then bring it into bootloader (press reset button under the stylus and press volume down until the 3 colour screen is shown).
next step is to connect the phone to the pc with the usb cable. the phone should say USB instead of serial. if it doesnt then your pc doesnt have the correct drivers. (drivers found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290)
once your phone says USB, then load the exe file mtty1.42.exe (also found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290) and select USB in the drop down list and press ok.
a white text box will appear, type task 29 and press enter. once it's finished, use CustomRUU.exe to flash your new rom. job done.
Now, where are you getting stuck? I think the MTTY guide is pretty noob friendly! I've attached a custom RUU to save you looking...
Hey, I found this on the main page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
It's a complete upgrading guide. may be read that before doing anything to your diamond! You dont want to break it for good!
cant load the energy rom either

Error 270

Hi All,
I did some search, but it seems there's no Error 270 topic for a Touch Diamond. And surprisingly that's the problem I have. Here's the deal.
For a whole duration of the day I've been trying to upgrade to 2.03 ROM, which would my first ROM upgrade. I tried the ROM from the phone's importer site, the HTC site, xda site, all lof them with the same result. After the RRU reaches 100% the mobile goes to Tricolor with "Upgrade ROM code error" message and the RRU shows says Error 270.
I searched the forum and saw that some of the people suggested to burn different HardSPL versions, so I tried burning the 2.03 with various HardSPL versions, 1.24, 1.30, 1.93 are the few I remember, there were more, both signed and unsigned, the last is SPL-1.93.OliNex unsigned -> all of them installed nicely, with a clean reset after them but the following upgrade to 2.03 failed every time the same way, Error 270, as usual.
I use an original USB cable and an XP OS that, at the moment of RUUing, runs nothing but the RUU.
By the way, I also tried doing the upgrade from the internal storage. I renamed the ~100MB file to the name specified in the Noob Guide (DIAMIMG.NBH) and put it at the root of the storage device, but the bootloader gray screen says no image found (or something similar and goes directly to trying to find a USB host).
OK an Update (for whoever gets this problem after me).
I'm not sure why the installation from PC failed time after time - this is something for smarter people to find out.
I solved it by eventually managing to copy one of the numerous RUU_signed.nbh I tried, to the Internal storage, renaming it to the DIAMIMG.NBH and running the bootloader procedure.
Why didn't this work for a 6-10 times I did this before, I donno, the important thing that now it did, and I'm going to enjoy my diamond starting this moment.

Hello,
I'll be happy to help to the extent I can.
But can you please specify where you stand right now?
I mean, what steps did you take already and where did you stop?
For example,
Do you have Hard SPL installed already?
What's the ROM you currently have?
Can your phone boot up correctly? Can it sync with your PC?
Is your phone locked?
Let me know some details.

Only Bootloader available - no boot possible- HELP!!

Hi, I have a big Problem with my Diamond
I can't boot the Diamond, only in bootloader
Does anybody has an idea how to change the SPL or the ROM ?
Or is there a possibilty to get Jumpspl on my device (i can't access windows)
Thank You for your help, I really appreciate it.
Hi,
I have sort of the same problem, except I have a US DIAM110. If you have found the original stock ROM for your device, try that. It has to work; JumpSPL only works from Windows.
~codeslicer
try using mtty it work for me- diamond 100
and try another usb in ur pc and flash olinex 1.93 again
Flash via RUU, hrad reset, if still in bootloader, Mtty task 8
......
Thank You!!!
bummer
have you tried using a custom RUU to install your stock rom?
extract the stock rom from official RUU and use the custom RUUs that can be found here.
one more thing, you might want to grab the old drivers for mobile device sync and make sure the old drivers are loaded. vista and w7 usually rollback the drivers.
might not work, but worth a shot eh...
hey i had the same problem i tried evrything and it didnt work just like you so i went to htc service center and the flashed my rom back to the box rom check out if there is an htc service centre near you.
Thank You....!!!
Try, with mtty:
Code:
Task 29
Task 8
then remove the device, enter bootloader, and try flashing. Maybe, post to us the output of
Code:
info 0
info 1
info 2
... info 8
etc up to info 10 I think
You can also try pmming Olipro or cmonex, or try looking around on how to do a CID unlock (imei-check or something like that does it, but it's been reverse engineered by now).
Finally, if you're about ready to give up, you can run "task 2A" which FORMATS EVERYTHING. You could be left with a brick. But there's a chance your SPL will be saved and whatever's causing the problem to be removed. Again, I don't recommend it; it's a very powerful command.
Best of luck.

Thanks codeslicer...
Thanks......
Have the same Problem
i`m also from germany:
Diam300
SPL-193 OliNex
There seems to be a problem with the HSPL?

excuse me...what does it mean "FORMATS EVERYTHING"???
after "task 2A" the first thing to do will be flashin hardspl and then a ROM ???
ok, it is possible to flash roms and radios... but it is impossible to flash any spl!
so whats wrong?
/edit: is it possible to flash SPL on another way? in some "do whatever it says"-way?
the fact that i previously installed XANDROID has nothing to do with the problem,does it?
Bumpt to Top.
Noone an idea?
Can anybody do a checksum with mtty, who has also olinex 1.93 an post the result? i want to check SPL etc. CRC Checksum.
THX!
Still the question: what does the Task 2a on the diamond!?
ok, those who are currios: task 2a doesn´t work neither.... :-/
Lord,
Hard-SPL is protected, which is why it is called "Hard". It is written in "hard" on the memory to prevent it from accidentally being erased. Therefore the memory where Hard-SPL itself resides is protected so a bad flash won't brick your device.
In order to modify the bootloader (in your case it's Hard-SPL at the moment), you have to use Soft-SPL, which "softly" remains in the memory, but is not actually "written" in the memory. To do that, you get something called Jump-SPL. Find it, and execute the .bat program when your device is connected via ActiveSync. Accept the prompt on your device, and the screen will turn black. Now flash the new SPL (bootloader) that you want to install. If you mess up here you can brick your device, but installation is fast.
~codeslicer
Also, when you use mtty, you cannot copy and paste. The program only works when you TYPE it in. So do be careful with Task 2A and do not resort to these tactics unless your device has been fully bricked.
