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

Query on Orange htc Upgrade ROM.
Hi There,
I have recently purchased a htc diamond, it was originally an Orange unit but is unblocked.The ROM version is 1.37 but I wish to flash to 1.93.I have the Orange released version of the 1.93 as htc wont support me direct.Question is, if I do this will the unit revert back to being Orange??ie.....does this flash the radio back?? or will it remained unblocked??
Thanks in advance...

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?

I've had this unlocked Hero SPL for a while now, and it's super useful for flashing unsigned updates and cool stuff like custom splashes. Unfortunately i've not been able to distribute it... until now!
WARNING
A PROBLEM FLASHING THE SPL CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE - as such, proceed with caution. Don't flash this unless you need it, flash at your own risk, flash only to a GSM Hero and do not interrupt the flashing process (which happens on the first reboot after applying the zip). YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
The SPL, version 1.76.2007, is in the usual update zip format.
Download: MoDaCo
Enjoy!

Thanks modaco I will try it after christmas, just to be sure that my phone won't be bricked till I learn some things better
Nice!
Thanks Paul (and any other eventual leakers not mentioned).
Now I can get rid of my hacked SPL
do we copy this zip file to sd card and update through recovery image? like other radio, rom and theme applying?
Would I be right in thinking I need to CID unlock my Orange Hero (rooted) before I can flash an unlocked SPL? Or is that the whole point of an unlocked SPL?
Not planning on using phone on another network at the moment, just want rid of all locks.
I remember way back when, on my Kaiser, I needed to run Kaiserunlocker.exe when hardSPL'd it, but can't remember the exact procedure.
Many thanks
Phone:
UK Orange Hero (rooted)

Radio: 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22

There should be no need for that, and long as you have rooted phone and a custom recovery you should be able to flash it.
You're confusing CID lock with SIM lock. The SIM lock is what limits your phone to a specific network.
CID lock is software enforced "label" that is used to limit what software can be installed on your phone.
For example: Your Orange branded phone is identical hardware-wise to my sim-unlocked Nordic Hero. However the phones have different CID values. Assuming you havn't rooted it you would be stuck to just running Orange approved ROMs on it. No other ROM would be allowed to be installed even if your hardware is identical and can run it.
CID is a non-issue once the phone is rooted and you got a custom recovery on it that allow us to install whatever we want since it ignores CID.
I'm not that versed in the SIM lock function, but from what I've seen it seems you can get some code to disable it from within Android (look around on the forum for instructions), or there is the serial cable method (explained in a sticky on this forum).
Hope that explains it.
just flashed and flashed modaco startup image too. its so cool. thnx a lot Paul. btw. how to make startup images? cheers

Hi Community,

I Am sure you guys would definitely help
I Am having a Touch Diamond,Wanted the have the latest sense 2.5 Rom on it ,

And custom Ruu method( hung at 0%)
So Anybody knows Whats Going on?
And yea i tried to search the forms,couldn't find anything relevant
hard spl
hi max,
firstly you need to update hardspl, some would say you should use olinex 1.39 for myself i found 1.40 .. so i guess it makes no diference. after that you are free to go with brick.... errr .. flashing your phone
Yea, I think i Did the HardSpl 1.40 but it shows 1.30 olinex on the tricolor boot loader screen...
And i cant flash any ROM...Dont know why?
Signed or unsigned problem?
how can i b sure i have hardspl 1.40 olinex.....
hi there

I have a brand new T mobile branded DHD. I've only rooted, S OFF, ENG S OFF and SimUnocked it. tell me how to do a stock radio and i can help
thanks for your replies, i was hoping not to use the OTA as i will have to downgrade again. If you know if the OTA will also replace my splash screen with the original then i may do it.
@Rangnarok - could you tell me what the software version and baseband version are in setting>about phone.,I dont think you can extract a radio from the phone. Im not sure how you would extract the splash also. I know there are tools to flash them, but im not back home until tomorrow so i will have a look and if i can find a safe easy way i will PM you... thanks
Ok, to make sure I have what you need, I confirm again that, the Phone is new. I only Rooted. S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. It has a T-mobile splash screen, CID is TMOB005 at the moment.

I have made a back-up ROm, using ClockWorkMod, so I am not sure if this is what you are looking for?
I am researching to flashing a custom ROM on it. So hopefully I can help you before doing so
many thanks for the information, it was exactly what i was looking for, i have a backup of the stock rom that came with my phone, it just that it doesnt contain the radio, now i know the one it shipped with i can download it.
will get back to you on the splash screen, flashing a custom rom does not change this so have fun flashing.
I would reccomend trying the cyanogenMod 7 Rom, it has great customizable features, and once you get used to not having sense there will be no going back. The only thing i would look out for is i have noticed that GPS can be hit and miss with different roms, if you use it alot like i do then try using it before you spend too much time with one rom.
cheers
I have had a look inside the backup folder. It has
boot.img
system.img
etc
but nothing that indicates a radio back up. Is this already included in some file in the folder?
radio is not backed up. But there is a thread in dev that has a link to download different radio versions, i just wasnt sure which one came with a stock T-mobile phone.
There is a T-Mobile DE RUU available, you can download that, and get rom.zip from it. Then you can find splash1.img inside the rom.zip. I am pretty sure that T-Mobile DE's and UK's splashes are similar.
thanks for that jkoljo. I should have thought that i could get it from any t-mobile rom as long as the res is the same.
Been meaning to ask you, you quote "It will create a backup of your phone partition 7 (radio config) to the root of your sdcard, I recommend to keep that somewhere really safe!" from your radio tool thread. Does this mean the whole original radio is backed up and i can restore it from that?
Nope, it is not the radio, just radio configuration partition. The radio configuration has lots of important system values in it. Radio reads values from that config partition, and then acts accordingly. Radio is an important part of the system, and it does more than you could imagine
