Hi guys wondered if somebody could help me I hanve an orange HTC touch diamond on rom version 1.37 and wamt to upgrade to 1.93 but when I try it tells me that i cant upgrade does this mean I have to unlock the phone or do I have to update the hard spl first before been able to update the rom to 1.93
You have to hard spl then you can update to any of the roms here. Try using the search feature, I know it is your first post, we have all been there
hi thanks have searched about on forum thats how found about hard spl but wasnt sure which one to use didnt want to brick my phone

Where did you find the 1.93 Orange ROM ? Or is it not the Orange one ? I've been looking for it in vain on french Orange's website... It is not even possible to register my own diamond phone (which is not listed in the possible owned phone even if it is in the catalog, as a matter of fact).
You can use any ROM, doesn't have to be an Orange one.
I only received my Diamond last week and found all the info I need to start flashing in this forum.
First you need to flash a new SPL, don't ask me what it means. A guide I read said there was a Soft and HardSPL. As you can guess the SoftSPL runs in the OS and umm the HardSPL runs in the bootloader !?
Without going in to too much detail as I'm not 100% sure myself, the HardSPL is how the hardware communicates with the OS, I guess much like the BIOS on a PC. And certain HardSPL's will only allow you to flash signed ROMs as a safeguard.
If you want to flash a new ROM, Radio or Splash/Boot screen then unless it's for your region and signed you'll first need to install an unsigned HardSPL. The most popular one seems to be the 1.40 SPL by Olinex. If you're not sure about what you're doing then install a signed HardSPL for now. This will only allow you to use the signed custom ROMs but at least you won't flash the wrong ROM to your device. Once you have a HardSPL flashed to you're device you can start flashing the different ROMs available.
It's impossible to recommed a ROM because everyone wants something different. I prefer to use lite ROMs with most of the default apps removed and no customs apps added. Things to make a note of are which orginal HTC ROM it is based on, which apps have been updated, which apps have been removed and what extra apps and tweaks are included.
Some ROMs also include Radios and Splash screens but the majority don't. Again decide on which radio and screen you want and flash in the same way as the ROM.
How to flash?
Most ROMs include the DiamondCustomRUU.exe app (a single file). Put this file into an empty folder. Extract the ROM, Radio or screen file and look for the file with an extension of .nbh. Copy only the .nbh file in to the folder where you copied DiamondCustomRUU.
Connect the Diamond to your PC via the USB cable. Make sure there is over 50% battery etc. Run DiamondCustomRUU.exe.
Make sure there is only one .nbh file in the folder or the RUU app won't know which one to use. You don't need to tell the RUU app what type of .nhb file it is either.
The modmydiamond site has most of the Q&A in one place about flashing ROMS on your handset.
Hello i have a HTC orange Touch Diamond and i want to update the ROM as it is terrible. I am not that technical. can someone please explain what i need to do from scratch.
Thank you
I suggest your search the forum...
hello newbie
yes use the search button...it works really well
You first need to flash your diamond with one of the hard spl on this site and after you've done that you can take your pick from any of the roms on here
sorry guys i did look just didnt understand much. I am trying to use Hard SPL just cant get it to work.
same here
I have an orange htc Diamond and would really apreciate which files wouldwork. Everything I have tried stay's at Zero and ends up in an error.
Any help would be greatly ppreciated
root directory
to use hard spl i have to put a file in the root directory! but what is the root directory?
Hi James, your failing at 0% most likely because the SPL your using will not allow unsigned ROM's. Look for another SPL, one with developer edition in the title is good and works quite well for me.
I have an Orange also, the first thing to do is install the SPL then flash the radio (.05 is good) then get a new ROM!
Hope this helps
i think i broke my phone!!!!!
lol
i put the 2 files sspl and jump into my Diamond then i run sspl from my diamond and my phone resets.
The background image flashs a bit now. I still cant update the ROM and ideas what im doing wrong?

You need to do the following
1. Download the Unsigned HardSPL 1.24 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621 and extract to a folder on your PC. Make sure you have Active sync installed and setup with your Diamond. Run the Updater in the 1.24 folder. Once the Phone reboots reconnect with active sync.
2. Download any of the ROMS on here and run the ROM to flash the phone.
Thats it !!!!!
Topboy
as i go to add a ROM i get a error saying the application failed to initialize properly ( 0xc0000135) click OK to terminate
Or check www.modmydiamond.info for easy to understand information
i get the above error as i try to add RUU
Hard SPL won't work
Hello,
From what I've read on the forum and also on www.modmydiamond.info, I gather I need to go through the Hard SPL step before installing any ROM.
However, after trying 2 different SPLs (hard_spl.120 and diamond_hspl_1.24) it still doesn't work.
I'm stuck at 0%.
Thanks

Since you're not giving any details I don't know what your exact issue is. It depends on your Phone and where you got it.
Most likely your issue can be resolved by reading the thread which I link to in my signature.

If you HardSPL you wont be able to install a standard HTC ROM without some faffing, I had this problem this week, so if your 1.93 is the released Standard OEM HTC one then dont HardSPL whatever you do.
thanks alot guys. what a quick response. and sorry for the caps lock if it got u confused.
as far as the details of the phone is concerened. its an orange UK contract phone with the ROM version 1.37.405.1 WWE radio 1.00.25.03. the phone hasnt been flashed at all. i did try to flash it to _QMR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe but was unable to. i guess i should have hard spl it before.
i m guessing the only thing i need to do is to hard spl it right. or do i need to do something else as well.
again thanks alot guys for the quick responses.
hi tony.
i have actually tried to do it without hard spl but it would get stuck on 1%. is there any other way to do it. i believe the ROM i m trying to flash to is an official one as far as the thread i downloaded it from is concerend.
one thing to clear here. its the first time i m trying to flash from 1.37 to 1.93 official rom. could someone confirm that there is a 1.93... official rom available or is it one of the cooked ones. and could one confirm as well that i need to hard spl even flashing from oficial to official rom. coz two post before tony mentioned not to hard spl.
any ideas guys. thanks
Here's what I've just done, I hope it helps -
Vodafone UK to UK release HTC ROM.
1. I read the info here, over and over and asked lots of questions.
2. I checked the current SPL of my fone (Volume Down & Reset) and found I had 1.37.
3. Downloaded Hard SPL 1.37 UnSigned and installed it - Here was my first problem. Everyone just says use RUU to install hard SPL however the SPL's I downloaded didn't come with RUU so I took a guess and decided that RUU was a generic flasher which could also flash the SPL for me.
4. Use RUU to flash the SPL, mine reported V1.0 as the new ROM version but installed and rebooted perfectly to reveal the coloured screen informng that I did now have a Cooked SPL installed.
5. Followed the fisrt startup procedure that the phone asked me to do.
6. Flashed the new ROM in a similar way to flashing the Hard SPL.
7. Phone flashed ok and I'm just in the process of setting it up now.
One issue I did have was using Vista I had to right click and run as Administrator to make it work.

wrong. if you use unsigned hardspl (aka "developer hardspl") it will flash HTC ROMs just fine
1.93 is also unsigned.

who's "everyone"? this information is totally wrong, wrong, wrong.
next time you download an attachment from a post, read the post where the attachment was, and you won't have this problem (the post that had the unsigned hardspl 1.37 also talked about where to get the special SSPL RUU for it - have a guess. it is in the same post in another attachment).

Hi,
My Diamond has no response on the screen, so I think I need to return to factory for repairing. However I have difficulties in falling back to stock ROM and SPL.
From the Wiki:
---------------
STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
...
-----------------
I can't flash my ROM to latest HK WWE CSL ROM (2.03) as it just stopped at 0%. I'm using SPL-1.30.OliNex.
Questions:
0) Why? Any step I've missed? I've just copied the .NBH from HTC official ROM download. Should I get the .NBH from the Wiki instead?
1) Should I flash to v1.93 (the very beginning of the ROM)?
2) Must the RADIO be flashed back as well? or the above Stock ROM has included the RADIO already?
3) Anyone can give me a reference on the step-by-step in details...
Thanks!
Please help...

If the latest was the offical from the site then you could use that - as you are having issues flashing this with 1.30 HSPL, I would suggest updating that to 1.40

This might be a easier option and should work woth the 1.30 HSPL

Thanks a lot.
Re Q3, so do you mean if I extracted the stock NBH, it's only OS but not including RADIO? If so, I will get the RADIO from wiki page later. Would you please clarify for me?
After your information, I think the steps in Wiki are clear. Thanks.
If this is HK ROM is the one you have downloaded from HTC PAGE then it has a radio included
Since my Diamond is totally malfunction in the touch screen, I can't response to all the confirmation & prompts...
I've failed to install Stock ROM and tried your recommendation on upgrading to HSPL 1.40. There was a confirmation on running the program in my Diamond and I can't press YES and now my diamond is just like bricked.
I've also tried pressing VOL DOWN + Reset to connect the Diamond via USB. The ROM Update Utility has "successfully" update the HSPL, but actually when I hard reset it and found it's still running 1.30... Can I just use this approach to fallback to Factory status??
Anyone has good idea on how to fallback to Factory Stock ROM, RADIO and SPL, provided that my screen has totally no response to me?
PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE help.
You will not be able to update olipros Hard SPL in bootloader mode as the SPL is protected and the 1.30 will prevent this although show its been done.
What you will need to do then is just load a 1.93 ROM from boot loader. the were some in that link i posted earlier. as to reverting to the default SPL - you may be luck not to need the screen for any confirmation. but running a new SPL to overwrite Oli's you will need to use windows and the RRU
I've tried to load 1.93 ROM to my diamond but failed on OliNex 1.30. The link in modmydiamond.info on OliNex 1.40 Signed seems not correct, as it's still 1.30 after flashed. I've then flashed UNSIGNED 1.40 OliNex SPL (also downloaded from modmydiamond.info) and now flashing the 1.93 ROM in progress from bootloader.
I will flash the Stock SPL through the Bootloader after that...I hope I can successfully fallback and get it repair...
Last question (I hope), the stock SPL should be 1.37 so I want to confirm whether it can boot 1.93 ROM.
Thanks a lot!
Because these Unsigned HARD SPL 's are write protected.....you will fail all the time. Not sure if stock SPL can undue the write protection but if you still get stuck after you try then in order to bypass write protection I know Jump SPL allows for this.

you're right. When I flash the Stock SPL, it is "successful" but actually it doesn't update the SPL (i.e yet running OliNex 1.40). Where can I get the Jump SPL?

That ROM had a different boot image - so you need to replace that by flashing another splash .NBH file using RUU.
Original splash can be found HERE
and if needed CUSTOM RUU HERE
Just un-zip these and put the splash file in the same folder as the Custom RUU and run the RUU - the flash should take a few seconds and viola - bye bye Diamond project splash.

I think as long as the SPL is changed and the ROM is of the original language the I think it should be OK to send back like that

As said before; you should be able to successfully run the stock SPL using RUU - if you are trying this via bootloader it will not work.
Which is the original SPL?? 1.23, 1.34 or 1.37? I do recall taking a picture of the original SPL when i 1st got the Diamond for days like that but i just can't find it now
I'm bought it from Malaysia. Anybody can help me confirm this??

I've tried to connect to ActiveSync successfully although the Initial Setup wizard on my Diamond. I've then run the RUU from RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip and put the stock SPL .NBH file into the extracted directory. It can retrieve my device info, and when I confirm the update of ROM, after 3-5 sec it said about connection failure. I can browse the Internal Storage at the moment yet.
I've then tried similar thing using the Custom RUU inside the package diamond-hspl-1.34.zip. This time I can see 100% update. When I press VolDown and reset, the SPL is still v1.40 ONliEx.
What's wrong with my procedures above?

Hello,
i have a big problem.
After the installation of some Roms i have to do a hard reset becaue my Diamond chrashes.
So now I installed another Rom and the "Preparing your device for first use" screen appears but after this, nothing appens.
So i don't have any idea what i can do to fix this Problem...
Did anyone of you can help me please?
A little more inforation from you.
Might help to mention which rom you are having the issue with, which Radio version etc.
Radio ist 1.09.25.23 and the Rom ist Udks new Topaz R2.
I have the same experience with udK Syrius Topaz R0. The device keeps hardresetting even after I have installed another rom. Eventually, I restored to stock rom and install another cooked rom again. The problem seems to have been solved.
There are other users having the same problem with this rom. Although some have reported no problem, I would keep watching before installing this rom again.

How long are you waiting on this screen. It does take a few minutes for it to finish what it's doing.
Oh i wait about half an hour...
Now I changed the Rom and flashes Aztor and all is working.
Is it possible that the version of HardSPL is the reason for the hang up with udk's Rom?
At the moment i use hard-SPL 1.4, but I don't know how i can install the 1.93 Version.
When I download the zip.package from this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950 the package contains only the RUU_Signed.nbh file and I have no idea how to install this file?!

Custom RUU does not seem to work with olipro's SPL 1.93. Try this one HERE which I know works.
ichselbst all you need to do is unpack this and run the ROM Update utility (RUU) follow insructions and wait till screen staes finished.
Hope that helps
