just upgraded to the touch diamond from the e650... but there seem to be LOADS more roms for this phone, im just wondering what the best one is or what is the update for my one.
rom ver:1.93.405.1 wwe
rom date :08/06/08
radio:1.00.25.05
i tryed to download am updated rom from htc site by adding my s/n but it doesnt let me, i gues my phone is an inport from hong kong :S tho it have registerd on the uk site :S
would be greatfull if someone can help, best cooked rom and updated standerd rom???
could also have somethink to do with its from orange??? tried to look on the orange website but couldnt find my phone on ther :S
so if anyone knows of a orange rom update too would be good. tho i dont want ****y orange branding
try to download the newest htc rom with Internet Explorer
use this as serial on htc website : ht822gn28022
btw, try cooked roms, they are lot better than stocks and dont ask which one is best coz different people likes different roms
I ordered mine through Hong Kong also (im from Australia), and like you I cant get a 'stock' ROM to download via the official site, and even if you get someone else to download it for you, it comes up as the wrong ROM type when you attempt to flash it.
There is a Telstra ROM floating around that you can download via unofficial means, and I got that to install ok, but it has a heap of bigpond specific links on it.. not to mention doesnt actually work without a Telstra SIM (plus its a boring ROM anyway).
As for cooked ROM's, yes id recommend just choose one you like, they are all decent, some just have better applications or aesthetics which is nice, however if I had my time again, I might think twice, because there is a hard-reset issue that has been floating around for quite a few users... and the fixes havent worked, so I pretty much need to get a new phone now.
before you loose hours and hours trying
try the BsB-o, best rom here
yo adsoxda my diamond was on orange france, from france i cannot use my model number on htc website as well, but i used that one (ht822gn28022) which wasnt come frome my phone and downloaded rom, flashed and enjojed for couple of days before i moved to cooked . Gary dont forget about hard spl and mitty have fun
Try bort rom.i think the best
I recommend you the Best ROM! it's the Best!
make your own rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513311
BSB 6.5Q only Titanium
it works great for me!!!!
LESS RAM USAGE, FAST, STABLE AND FULLY WORKING WITH iGO, S2U2 and CHANGESCREEN!
THE TOP!
"best" is relative ... it all depends on what you want - features? Speed? Stability? Fancy animations? etc etc.
I've gone through a few ROMs, and really like Dia Duit's ROM. Very stable, very fast, lots of memory.The only way to find out for sure is to try it for yourself.
Of course it's so!
thanks people tryed a few and useing bsb one, not sure witch revs tho. i install the hard spl befor it too.
meny thanks
Yes, always make sure you Hard-SPL before flashing any ROM, and I'd also strongly recommend to MTTY before any flash, and it'll be a much more pleasant experience flashing and trying different ROM's!
Good luck, enjoy!
I love c_shekhar 's ROM.
Energy ROM the best! =D

ive been searching around for a few hours now i cant seem to find a USA htc diamond rom anywhere...i tried flashing an official wwe but it gives me an invalid device error.so if anyone knows where i can download the stock rom that are installed in the USA HTC Diamonds that would be great.thanx
Why do you want an official USA rom? It's very slow on my USA unlocked 3G on ATT. You should try out cooked roms. I personally use Swift and it's very fast and responsive. Try out different rom till you like the best one is the only way to maximize the potential on your diamond. Just my 2c.
You cab find the rom here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432496 I have used it ans it works. Not offical but as close as you can get to it.
HardSPL...
You've got to do the HardSPL first. I just picked up the Diamond last friday. I'm running Dutty's 2.9. If this is your first HTC, congrats!
One of the first stickies in this forum is a complete upgrading guide. go through it step-by-step. don't be satisfied with the first ROM you try, though, look around, see what works best for you. not everyone here (most probably aren't) lives in the US and can't even make guesses as to which radios will work best.
Once you HardSPL, the rest is cake. it's just learning to back up your data, so you don't have to sync, or worry about losing texts.
Hey everyone,
Is it necessary to HardSPL before every ROM update?
I have dutty rom but bbc iplayer dosen't work on it so thinking about changing to another one...
Also what is the best way to pick a ROM? What do you compare?
Thanks
No, once you've installed a Hard-SPL it will work for every ROM update. Well, Hard-SPL's that support unsigned ROM's will work for every ROM update. Hard-SPL's that only support signed ROM's will work only on signed ROM's.
As for comparing ROM's; that is very personal.. Most popular ROM's are very much the same if it comes to speed. Differences are mainly in functionality, stability and the way they look out of the kitchen. Read the ROM topics and find out if what they have to offer suits you!
Do you want a tweaked and full functional ROM with a lot of applications cooked in? Or do you prefer a light or naked ROM, so you can save your space for just the applications you prefer and tweak it yourself?
Do you want it to look like a HTC stock Diamond or do you like what some cooks have done with the way the taskbar and TF3D look? Remember that you can install all applications, do some tweaking and change the look of your Diamond yourself.
As for stability, read the member remarks in the ROM's topics! That will give you a clue what to expect.
Just a question from my side which I cant seem to find an answer for (might be using the wrong search syntax). A ROM update should not affect the workings for your cell provider? As long as you know the MMS and other settings you can use any English (home language) ROM and your device will still pick up your service provider without a hitch?
My reason for asking is because I have noticed that even though HTC has released a new ROM past 1.93, if I go to the website enter my serial the only ROM I can download is still the 1.93. Thats why I am asking this n00b question...
Hi experts i flashed my diamond sometime back and getting rusty on which rom to get for now.
Can i know which are one of the best rom to get for now ? Mines a SEA singapore Set
Details :
Operator Version : Swiftbl Diamond V7.0 Full
Rom Ver : 1.93.405.1 WWE
Rom Date : 9/21/08
Radio : 1.00.25.05
Only you...
You're the only one who can answer that my friend. 'Best' comes down to personal taste. My favourite may be your least favourite, etc...
If you're after something close to a stock ROM, but faster, more stable, more free memory, updated drivers, etc, go for AZTOR's X2 Ultimate. I've tried at least 10 ROM's in as many weeks and this one tops the lot. Having said that, I like the my device to look like the stock ROM, if you want something a bit more customised, try this one.
The best thing you can do is flash and try, flash and try
Thread closed
as the post aboved states you need to find out whats best for you.
get reading....good luck!
Hi,
I was wondering if theres a very fast and stable Rom who only has WM6.1 and anymore working with my diamond.???
Thank you very much for your answer
That's exactly what I want, too...a ultra CLEAN and FAST rom with just base system, so that I can install any soft I want.
There are plenty...
Look at the chef's LITE/LIGHT editions. Many of these do not contain Manila.
Chef 'swtos' just released an updated LIGHT ROM with no Manila.

It will be really nice to find a rom with just wm6.1 and all BASIC diamond functions, without TouchFlo (Manila) and fast, secure and stable like AZTORs ROM.???
PD: I tried 7 different roms...
I use the UltraLight Morna 1.8 ROM from the great "Carburano":

Hi guys, I've read the entire internet looking for a solution...!
and I'm not able to find a solution... (probably because of my english skills...)
I've just bought an htc diamond on e-bay and it has installed a non-official rom which it has several troubles: Rom version 1.37.412.2 ESN
I've downloaded the last available rom in spanish (?):
(RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship)
from the htc spanish site but when I try to install it an ERROR[294] : INVALID VENDER ID, comes up. I've read about Upgrading, cooking, flashing and about Hard-SPL, but I'm not sure to understand rightly enough, so here's my question:
What should I do to install the rom downloaded from htc?
I understood that I have the problem because the hard-spl installed on my diamond causes the problem, so I guess I should install a new one...but which one?, and if I'm wrong... where may I find the information to solve my problem? I'm getting nuts of trying so many different things...
Lot's of thanks even if you don't answer, it's been a long read!

It's not that difficult, trust me...
My personal favourite ROM which sounds like it fits your needs is Suiller's Dia Duit ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440683
The beauty of this ROM is that, you simply put all your CABs into a directory on your Internal Storage. On hard reset / flashing, a script will automatically all your CABs for you! There's also a lot of other stuff that can be done (search for tweakPers.mscr in his thread).
nice nice really interesting... thank you people for your tips! i hope we can help someone with the same problem ))

ultra clean and fast?
for me is fast o.k.
for ultra clean i can use my ... ähm .. what was the name ... boah, i am thinking but ....
aah its called HANDY
(dont angry, only joke (i hope))
okokur
When you look at people's custom roms, usually the ones without TF3D are called classic, lite, ultra lite, no manila etc.
The other thing you can do is go to settings and Today and remove the TF3D check box. TF3D will remain installed but it will no longer be running. You can get TF3D back by rechecking the box in Today settings.
make a list of no wanted and wishes language and wait a little bit.
you will get than your wishes rom.
hello i would like to know if you could help me decide... i have this htc diamond with a ROM 1.93.422.4 WWE wich is the one the phone brought and i wanted to know if theres a better ROM thn tht one and if its compatible with the phone... like ive been reading about this one 1.93.831.1 WWE but i dont know wich one is better or if its compatible.... help me please
If it's the first time you flash a ROM, you have to follow the HardSPL tutorial.
After your Diamond have HSPL, you can flash which ROM you want, there are lots of good ROM in this section, i suggest you Maemo ROMs but you should try it yourself.
I'm using Celoni Tribute ITA, he also released a WWE version with WM6.5.x and HTC Sense.
Im using 2.03.xxxx
Get them from the Diamond Stock ROM WIKI
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Diamond_Upgrades
hey thanks a lot but do i need to do a HSPL to upgrade to those ROMS? the shipped ones? and any HSPL would work? or i have to flash an specific one in order to upgrade the ROM to the shipped one 2.03.xxx ?
No it should flash fine if it is your operator
If it is a different operator, maybe, Im not sure
so i dont have to do any HSPL ? just run the rom with the phone on activesync and thts it? and i think my phone is not flashed with HSPL it will work without doing it?
If it's the right ROM for your phone you'll be able to flash it even without HSPL, but it has to be an official update, check on the HTC website for your IMEI.
I suggest you to use HSPL to have a very higher choose, there are lots of ROMs here, official ones are outdated nowadays.
ohhh ok thanks!!... is there any rom that lets me use htc sense on the diamond?
Sense is WM6.5
If you are going to flash a 6.5 ROM you need to unlock it and HardSPL etc
TouchFlo is the 6.1 version of sense, its almost the same without the eye candy
Hi,
Check this out and pick what suits you best.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649841
I've been using GTX for a couple days w/out problems, although it's not the fastest ROM I've ever used looks-goodies/speed ratio is very reasonable.
Of course you have to HSPL your phone before flashing.
Also It's highly recommended to use radio 1.17.25.09 which I think is the latest.
I've had it installed even before flashing GTX and used it with wm 6.5 ROMs in USA, Mexico, Canada, Germany & Greece w/out problems. It's Quad-Band.
