I just downloaded SX56 WM03 ROM, now my main concern is on whether this upgrade ROM is suitable for O2 XDA users? I just don't want to take the risk on messing up my XDA, coz as we all know experimenting with ROM upgrades has taken a toll on many XDA users!
Please, I need an expert advice regarding this issue...
Yes it is suitable for O2, I have an 'O2' XDA and have it installed. But since the ATT ROM includes a radio update, you have to be very carefully to not to install the radio update and only the rom update.
It is not the ROM update which has taken toll, because you can recover from a ROM update failure very easilly. It is the radio update which can be very dangerously!
yes ... as long as you don't upgrade the radio stack
use SD method instead the exe file provided by the siemens web site
Thank you all so much for the help!!!
I'll do try it!!!
I'm running the latest Tmobile Radio Stack... on Tmobile WM2k3, if I update the ROM with the ATT ROM and my radio stack with the ATT radio stack, will my XDA1 still work? Thanks.
if you have a functioning RSU ... don't touch it!! ... extract the nbf file from ATT and use the SD card method
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!

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

Thanks, I skipped the tmobile stock stage and it worked a treat with 1.93olinex and the latest HTC rom. I think you saved my sanity!

As my understanding, once you have HardSPLed your device, you can flash any Diamond radio you want.
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
I am trying to relock my Diamond and it is failing. I am going to assume that it is because I am using the Telus radio Rom. Does any one have or can anyone provide me with a current radio rom for my version of the phone so that I can lock it. I am interested in Bell HTC Touch Diamond radio rom.
I have looked everywhere for the stock software that would include the radio for my phone and I can't find anything. Currently I am using the Stock Rom Version 1.13.666.7 but it does not include the radio.
Help!
