Hello guys,
I have a couple of questions which i aint getting an answer to when searching the forums. (google didnt work eather) .
first i'am a total noob in flashing roms tho i do have great knowledge about computers / programming etc...
My configuration is :
MDA compact IV (which is a DIAMOND200)
IT is also cid locked and simlocked by T-mobile
the ROM is 1.93.xxx.x
The SPL is a 1.93
radio is a 1.00.00.25 (or somthing like that cant remember )
What i want ?
What i want is a ROM which is fast and has the looks of the real htc touch diamond. And i also want it signed by olinex.
What iam searching for ?
Iam searching for a 1.93 signed HARDSPL. The problem is that i managed to find one which is unsigned but when iam in RUU it says Iam upgrading
FROM: 1.93.xxx.x <-- this is my rom not my spl right ?
TO: 1.00.DIAMOND <--- LIKE WTF ? shouldnt it be 1.93 ?
So first step is to get the right HARDSPL installed correctly :/ And iam also worried my MDA compact IV will have problems when installing the hardspl :S (because of the DIAMOND200 tag)
Would anyone so kind answer my questions.
Thanks in advance,
Qwin
So nobody has an answer to my questions ? I mean is it that hard to answer ?
No, and manners cost nothing either .
The signed Hard SPL isn't the best choice. It limits the number of ROMs you can use, becase OliNex arn't (AFAIK) keeping up to date with signing. Use the un-signed Hard SPL.
As for the RUU, just ignore it, it's only showing you the version on the NBH file - this contains 1 or more NB files which is what's actual flashed to your phone.
What the RUU tell's you is pretty much irelevant (other than error codes).

Hi i have a Diamond that i bought in Russia and now i want it in Swedish.
So i downloaded a swedish ROM: DIAM1.37.413.3SVE

So when i have installed the SPL, And the Swedish ROM, Everythings OK, Runs like normall BUT when i put a SIM Card inside the Diamond it wont work, Cant call, The Touch screen will not work right, Its freezing and booting the device... Why? Do i need some "Radio" or whats it called?
Im very new about this som please help me and explain good-easy how to do step by step
When i start the Diamond it says;

Hi i'm not an expert, but it's not right that when you start the Diamond it says "1.37.00.00" when in fact you have installed ROM "1.37.413.3SVE".
I would suggest try flashing the hard SPL again, then flash the new ROM again. (and use with the signed version of Hard SPL this time for safety against bricking).
Now i tryed the Signed 1.30 Oilnex SPL. And then flashed again with the Swedish ROM.
When i flashed with the Swedish ROM it says that i have 1.30 Oilnex in the display.
But when i start the diamond it still says 1.37.00.00 is that right?
Still it wont work with SIM inside...

That is not really a problem. On my phone, which works perfectly well, I also only see the major number release (i.e. 1.37.00.00). I don't think that's a symptom of why your phone is not working. You should try to find the cause elsewhere, but I also do not know where you should start.
Yes because the phone is working with russian ROM, But not when i install the Swedish... hmm...
Any clues=?
i can help you - flash this:

and your swedish rom will work
Hi everyone,
I've just upgraded my (french) Diamond's HardSPL with the OliNex version found in the topic "Hard-SPL or how I learned to stop worrying and love the MPU". Everything was OK at this time so I booted and HTC "reinstalled" the TF3D interface files.
Everything is still working but when I tried (several times) to upgrade the Radio version to v1.00.25.05, the program stays at 0% for 3 minutes and then gave me the 262 update error. I tried to connect my Diamond to different USB ports but didn't change anything.
So I decided to download the official update from HTC website and install it (witch I did) but this update doesn't work too (same error)
The strory is not so bad because my Diamond is still working but I want to install an unofficial ROM...
PS: sorry for my english and thanks for your help
@tompim
The first post in the radio thread is worth reading carefully:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
I suspect that your problem is that you need one of the unsigned / developer hardspls for standalone radio upgrades and you are using one of the "signed hardspls"

Thank you very much for your explanation (i read the radio thread before strarting ).
In fact I want to install the Diamond Project Rom that need theses (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621) HardSPL version but I don't know what version number choose (I tried with the 1.34 and the same problem appeared
To remove all doubt and be able flash virtually any rom, flash the developer edition unsigned Hard-SPL from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950. It should do the trick for you.
Works like a chrarm thanks!
Hi Guys,
First of all I would like to say what a great site XDA Developer is. I have spent some time reading threads and not found any answers to my questions (that doesn’t mean they aren’t out there!) so I am sorry if my noobee questions are a bit stupid…..
I have a UK Vodafone Touch Diamond, SPL 1.90 I am ultimately trying to get to the point where I can use the WST 4.2.2 available on this site.
From reading the many threads I believe that it is possible to do this by downgrading The SPL to 1.11? as a trial I was trying to use the HARD SPL downgrade to 1.4 but I cant seem to get this to work using Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex. I have to use the SSPL transferred to the device and it comes up with the error 244… invalid model ID.
I have read the following links for info but there doesn’t seem to be anything specific for the touch diamond….

http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ht...mplete-upgrading-guide-hardspl-radio-rom.html
So, my questions are,
-Will I be able to use the Wizard Service Tool with my Touch Diamond?
-can I downgrade to SPL 1.11? if so how? Or point me to the thread I have missed please.
-is there another WST out there that I can use?
If you need more info from me please message.
Many thanks in advance for all your help guys,
Mestrini's WST won't work on the Diamond.
ok thanks, is there anything else out there with the same functionality? for touch diamond?
I would like to install the new Feb 09 ROM from HTC. My Compact IV is from last August and Im just so fed up with the slowness and reception... but I dont want to brick it as I still have a year contract left (thats why never cooked anything) however I feel I could trust the ROM straight from HTC(?) This also seems to pretty straight forward to do.
...but Please let me know
- Is the installer 'PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.27.4.3' that comes with it safe to use?
- No need to hardSPL etc.. stuff?
- Will there be any issue as Compact IV is locked to T-Mobile?
Appreciate help... love my compact IV!!
Just to add to my post
I used the S/N in the other thread: ht824gn13492 to download the ROM from HTC. HTC didnt allow to do it with Compact IV's S/N. I hope thats ok... Think the ROM version downloaded is 2.03.405.3.
Thanks
...
I have compact IV too and I am using 2.03 roms (htc and cooked) without problems.You need hardspl to flash these roms (i have olinex 1.93). And I recomend you to flash rom by internal method. Good luck
What do you mean with 'internal method'?
And even if install straight from HTC, still need hardSPL?
Thanks!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2707841&postcount=4035
Read this about flashing from internal storage.Mainly the second paragraph.And I thing that you need hardspl for any other rom except tmobile stock one.
I hope that will help you
hardspl
Thanks for your help. Just one more question: does your last comment mean T-mobile original ROM doesnt require hardSLP. Or better I install it anyway?
Thanks!!
Yes.Only (Tmobile CZ in my case)stock rom from your mobile operator
copilot
I think I will try install straight the official HTC ROM. I read somewhere else thread if updating official ROm you shouldnt use any HardSPL(?) Im not exp with this, and dont want to risk my phone...
I wonder will this affect the Copilot 7 installed by T-Mobile? i know its on the interanl memory (4GB) but were some parts in the phones memory that will be wiped away? dont want to loose it!!!
you cannot install the Official HTC ROM without HardSPL is what gajdik means.
Because your phone is T-Mobile branded (like mine) you can ONLY install T-Mobile ROMS, all others will fail (even official htc roms), to bypass this you must hardspl
Thanks... understand now.
What about Copilot, will I loose it? (does it have something in registry etc that will disable it, as the ROM is not from T-mobile?)
thanks

Yes this is what i mean
I have preinstaled tomtom 7 by tmobile and it works after rom update. But I am not sure about copilot...
Hi all,
I'm new to all this. I've got hold of the new HTC Rom that I want to put on my Compact IV, but can anyone give me a version of Hard SPL to use?
I can't seem to get any of the versions i've found so far to work!
Thanks in advance!
What version of stock rom do you have?And what versions of hardspl you tried?
I've got 1.37.110.3 WWE (the standard one that came from T-Mobile) and i'm trying to flash 2.03.405.3 (the feb 09 update from the HTC website)
I think i've managed to get the Olinex Hard SPL 1.30 onto the phone, but can't seem to make any progress.
Try upgrade to tmobile stock 1.93 rom and then try 1.93OliNex_HSPL_Unsigned from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2312363&postcount=2
This works for me
